For the few remaining skeptics of the ScanGauge / MID...
For the few remaining skeptics who question the utility of FE instrumentation ...
Once prolific GS member 95Metro installed a MID in his 95 Metro 1.0 5-speed.
Within 1 week he busted through the 60 mpg segment barrier AND the 70 segment barrier, and is predicting 80 will fall in the very near future. Best segment to date: 77+
How?
I'd say: partly through the constant "encouragement" factor inherent in having instant feedback in front of him, and partly because he's seen the first-hand effects of coasting engine-off, so has been using it more. He has also used the MID's feedback to fine tune his acceleration technique.

Thanks, Darin. I'm trying to rack up some posts as well, but Darin is bringing the heavy artillery, lol.

Just heard back from Mark:
1) He's not really into the FE game any more, but
2) He also doesn't want to part with the MID.
Crummy on both counts.
