While the location of the LP fill on my Focus sucks (behind the front passenger wheel well), this product does not.
The gauge is a nice addition to the package, works well, and is reusable so you just need a can next time (well, hopefully there won't be a next time).
I now again have glorious cold air blowing from my vents.

Do Not Buy

Cons: Almost caused a fire, Difficult To Install

Best Uses: Left on shelf at store

Car & Truck: Casual Driver

Installed on an '08 Civic. Pads were too thick, but I put them on anyway (my mistake). I ended up with four smoking pads and a glowing rotor on one side after a test ride at about 50mph. Returned for Wagner Ceramics, which I should have gotten in the first place.

26 MPG after nine years and 177,000 miles? I'll take it!
