"Your Mileage May Vary". it's a phrase that used to be common when
advertising automotive products that might influence fuel milage
(fuel kilometerage to those in more modern countries?). it's included to
make sure that a promise isn't being made to the potential customer
about how the product will affect their vehicle.

it's become a common catch phrase when giving advice or reviewing
a product, to remind folks that there's nothing definite.
