Okay so I was driving somewhere today and I discovered something amazing! I knew my trip meter gave an average reading of the MPG but it was unaccurate and until now it rarely moved (stayed at 24.6 all the time). Well I hit the trip reset button and tadaaa, I almost have an instant MPG thing, it tells me what kind of MPG I got for the previous 45 seconds of driving. So every 45 seconds of driving I know what MPG I got and I feel it's like a cheaper version of the Scangauge because atleast now I know what techniques help with FE (55 mph v 60 mph, etc)

So excited to play with this for a while. Hopefully I can use it to help me reach 30 MPG next tank.
