Car placebo don't work on wife. I did not told her what to expect and she noticed right away and I was not even in the car. So it works well, I recommend it.

I did not use the OBDII connector but attached it to the inside fuse box using the Optional fuse #5 and a 10 amp fuse.
I used an adapter called "Add a Circuit" from Littlefuse.
You remove a fuse from the holder (one that stay live all the time) insert the fuse in the lower portion of the adapter (for the existing circuit) then add a fuse to the upper portion of the adapter (for the new circuit) then insert this in the fuse block at the position you removed the fuse from.
Finally insert the red wire in the crimp connector and crimp. For the white wire just crimp an eyelet and instal it at the screw position on the RH side of the fuse holder

As far as my experience is, You have little change in MPG in NORM or PE1 to PE3 because having a sharper throttle response stop you from mashing the pedal just to get out of the way.
Because the basic setup is dead from 0 to 10% pedal depression, in fact my setup now is PE3 and I see a better MPG from original.
We are 2 drivers me and the wife. The wife has no interest in tech stuff, she just drive and she used to cost more fuel than me by her lack of patience with the semi dead pedal. Like she said "ět's a V6 for god sake why do I have to wait."
So it's simple, make the electronic pedal work like a mechanical pedal and you save gas.
On the other hand slowing the response could be useful on bumpy roads but again there is the cruise control.

The control unit is universal and the have special pedal Y cable for various vehicles.
As it come from the maker all you have to do is
1- disconnect the pedal connector and install the Y
2- select a location for the control unit (I used the tray in front of the fuse box)
3- connect the Y adapter to the back of the control box.
4- stick the display unit where you like and connect it to the control box.
5- either plug the OBDII connector for power or make your own connection to the fuse box (explained in a previous post)
5- Calibrate (Biscuit has supplied 2 videos link on post 1 please view them)
it's that simple...
