Jacobs Ignition

A few months ago my Jacobs Omni Magnum quit and car would not start. Bypassed the system and car fired right up. I originally installed it for better MPG. Never saw any improvement in mileage but it did improve thottle response and cold weather drivability.
Since it was out of warranty and Jacobs has open ended pricing (no fixed repair price) for out of warranty repair, I decided not to have it fixed. I simply regapped my plugs to factory specs. I've tracked MPG since going back to the stock ignition and there is not even 1/10 MPG difference!
If Jacobs could tell me ahead of time what it would cost fix, I might have it repaired since it did provide some minor benefits. However, in my own experience their system does not even come close to the 14% MPG improvement I was quoted by the sales rep when I originally purchased the system.
Aaron, glad you have had great success with your Jacobs. IMHO, it's overpriced snake oil.
