I am not actually "teaching" her so much as allowing her to realize she can drive more economically.
When she saw the tank results she alone was responsible for, she was not happy.
"Her" Tank - 19.44 MPG
"My" Tank - 25.56 MPG
"Best together" Tank - 24.85 MPG

She asked me how she could get better results. I did not tell her she should have had better results.

With SG in place she is already realizing driving tactics she can change.
I need to put a note here:
My wife is prone to Anxiety Attacks.
They are not fun.
when they occur while driving she will travel @ 5-7 MPH no matter what type of road she is on.
So she stays on the side roads/surface streets.

According to SG this current tank is already over the 28 MPG mark.
will have more info later.

And yes Treb. I have the XGauge unit. Sweet.
