Junk for modern engines. Maybe good for a carburated engine.

Default I purchased it, but sent it back (more)

I bought last year for my '00 Honda Insight. You know the car that already gets 70 mpg, well suppose to get 70 mpg. I must say it did actually work, I noticed an increase of about 5-8 miles to the gallon. I was averaging aboutn 58-60 mpg before I installed. I then went on a few trips and was averaging around 65-67 mpg. But the increase was so small that it would have taken 8 years in gas savings to pay for it (that is based on the Insight savings, much different in a regular car). As for the Audi I don't know how well it would work. Like others have mentioned the new engines are so technologically advanced it probably wouldn't make for a huge savings.
