Not confirmed or busted? Having read the link, I'm not entirely convinced one way or the other. I do know that an MSD (Multi-Spark Discharge), or DMS (Digital Multi Spark) or other type of multi-spark ignition does help with the cold weather starts. Although it really is more apparent in the older vehicles where the ignition system may be tired. For example, the Ignition in my '86 Samurai was less than stellar. Cold days would see me sitting in the driveway cranking away. Pull the choke, Start, stall.... Start, stall... Start, pump the gas, attempt to keep it running, stall. Once it finally started everything was fine, but until then, it wasn't much fun. After the DMS was installed, it was, pull the choke, Start, go inside and enjoy some coffee.

In terms of actual fuel efficiency, I'm not too sure. I hadn't kept records of the mileage.
