So I just found out about this yesterday.

If I'm getting this right, the MPGuino will tell me just how many Miles per Gallon I'm getting overall and in real time while I drive and for each tank that's filled?

And to buy a pre-built is $55 and gets in within a few days, has no USB port to update, but there's resources somewhere of how to upgrade if needed? Chip fits into a flopppy IDE cables and that's how it's done, I think I saw.

And is it recommended to put a fuse in the 12v line in? What kind of amperage does it pull anyway if such a thing is put in.

I'm wanting to throw this into my 93 Jeep Wrangler. I can find where to plug in where I need too, I've poked under the hood enough. I just need to know exactly what it does. I need to improve my mileage on my about 14 MPG Jeep.
