We love ours and on my recent post on the subject, I responded to those that wanted to know privately as I was tired of the negative comments from some that we talking out their butts because their mouths knew better. We gained, on a 2600 mile trip, about 1-2 mpg. Everything else was in line with the OP.

Dawg update! (Her name is Trouble, as Here comes Trouble, when as a puppy she would pester our old beagle into playing - she now is a single dog, and runs the house!)
Trouble was in shaded area dirt, no black tar touched her feet. I do appreciate and understand the question, as some people just do not know that paws can be burned. It was hot, no way around that...

I've been using AirTabs for a couple of years and they do increase stability, like feathers on an arrow. Any mileage increase is relatively small, but nice, and becomes nicer with each fuel price increase.
Well, the same observations about anecdotal evidence can be said about a heck of a lot of topics: RV types, engines, tires, shocks, mufflers, and flapjacks.
Some folks require windtunnel tests and an act of Congress before they will buy anything. Others will venture out and try new innovations and reap the rewards or disappointments. It all depends on your approach to life. One is not better than another, except in the mind of the believer, anecdotally speaking, of course.

I agree with you on this one Airstreamer and my question to fourfurz is, if it is so anecdotal and is a placebo effect, why have they been used in the aviation industry for decades and are a "requirement" in that industry? If a person tries a new gadget and say it worked for him and then another stranger follows suit, I have no reason to call them liars, as some appear to be doing, without a little research in itself. By the way, all you have to do is look to the trucking industry and you will find they are quickly embracing these, as one piece of the puzzle to save on cost.
