Let me comment on something I just found -
Don't strip your car to gain MPG, don't hypermile (drive funny) to gain MPG, and by all means...get a ScanGauge !! It takes the wondering out of your picture and gives you a "peg" to hang questions on.... It will change your driving forever!
Oh, when you get tired of buying this slop called gasoline, let me know. I've changed this, too. Literally. U see, I'm an engr., too.

Back in the '60s, before high tech, there was a gadget called a Vacuum Gauge. You "Teed" it into a carburetor vacuum line and then watched it while you were driving. If you kept it reading as low as possible you got better fuel mileage .... Sounds like this high dollar gizmo is the digital equivalent!
