I have one and have had it for years. I used it on my 2001 TV for a bit less than 10 years. Two year ago I installed it on the 2011 TV I have now. To tell you the truth I couldn't tell you if I got better fuel mileage or not. I can tell you this though, the bottom half of the front end of the 5er was freer of bugs than the top part. My deflector is the type that adjusts itself to the speed at which you drive, meaning it's on pistons and lays back when you attain the right speed. I had it on a TV with a short box and now I have a long box TV and even though it sits farther to the front because of the long box and I have adjusted it to the last holes of adjustment, it seems that it doesn't stay up far enough to deflect over the top of the 5er. I don't feel like trying to get rid of the pistons and putting something on that doesn't adjust but I could change my mind. It's another piece of equipment to maintain and added weight to the TV. I have enough TV to handle the weight, so that's not a problem. Another post for you to absorb. Have fun.
