There's a bunch of info in that thread Daox posted but we didn't get past a manual switch box. I like where you are going with this. I was hoping one of the electronics guys would chime in.

I still use my TCC switch now all the time in the van and it has been good for ~15% better FE. I do live in hilly country and that's where the biggest gains would be had.

Automatic manumatic would be sweet!
