stevey: Thanks, I was hoping it might be something like that.
eco-gen: I would absolutely love to have that much data recorded. I could also hook up weather instrumentation recording temp, humidity and air pressure (and if I wanted to get really silly, wind speed and direction, using vectors to figure out the real values by factoring in my vehicle's speed and direction), and something to record how much uphill or downhill the car is going. Rates of acceleration would also help. However, I don't have a laptop currently. But that sounds really, really cool to do, I will keep it in mind for the future.
And thanks for the tip on the speedometer cable, I'll see if I can take a look at that (or get someone to).
And also thanks for the compliment/encouragement. Yeah, every time in the winter or on a muddy dirt road I find myself wishing I had AWD, I console myself with the thought of gas mileage.
