"Your Mileage May Vary" -- e.g. you may not have the same result as
others do.
The term is one commonly used in auto industry advertising to prevent
lawsuits. Major motor companies needed a way to let manufacturers off
the hook when actual gasoline mileage in the real world did not come out
similar to published numbers -- which are obtained in laboratory
testing, in a closed building, on a rolling road.
It is a term frequently used on car and motorcycle enthusiast lists. I
am told by a South African acquaintance that there is a Dutch /
Afrikaans equivalent, but I can't find it in my saved messages, right now.
