Supposedly, you get a 7-12% gain in fuel economy with the motors set back, and with oil at 100 a barrel, every bit helps.
When I put the bracket on my Sceptre it didn't make a bit of difference in fuel economy, and I actually lost some top end speed until I lowered my engine two holes, then it was about the same as without the bracket.
