YMMV origins:
“Your Mileage May Vary” goes back to the 1970s and '80s in the U.S. During that time, automobile manufacturers frequently promoted their estimated mileages of their cars. However, due to the variations in driving conditions, they had no way of guaranteeing the exact mileage customers would actually get. Therefore, their ads would feature the disclaimer, “Your mileage may vary.”
But today, it is often used in forum talk meaning that your results will vary.
