Cheaper Instant Fuel Gauge than Scangauge?

I simply do not have the $150-$179 that an SCII costs. are there alternatives for instant fuel economy read out?

Or... watch eBay for a used SG1. They're functionally almost identical, and the SG1's are selling around $70-90ish (ballpark).

Nah I would rather pay more for the new larger screen (not the greatest eyesight in the world) :-) By the time you add shipping your not far off from the sale prices of the SGII

Cheaper to me would be a $20-$40 solution even if it ONLY did mpg :-)

Probably $40ish - assuming you assemble it yourself of course.
