    I remember reading it is used as an emission control device - and its primary work is to preserve unburnt Fuel vapour which finds its way into the intake system..

    I also remember posts on another forum stating that after removal of the carbon cannister, MPG decreased.

    You don't own a 2.0 15 year old sports car if you're worried about mpg, if you're worried about mpg you get a nice economical diesel
