I got my system for $250. A good trick is to pretend you don't want the system but really drag the salesperson along. If they don't suggest a demo model or some significant discount to get you to order, I'd be surprised. The price they first quoted me was $479! The system price also includes the plug wires, about $50, though I think Magnecore are a little better.
To my knowledge, MSD doesn't claim mileage improvements with their systems, others will know better than me. Jacobs does claim mileage improvements, along with a slew of other claims. Thus far, I've found them to be true. My car didn't have very many of the problems listed, so can't say it cures all of them.. I'm getting at least 10% better mileage than before, even with a 3.0 bar vs 2.5 bar FPR. That's worth a few extra bucks in my book.
YMMV (literally)
