I like the lcd display on, shows me my previous current trip. doesn't take much power for just the numbers. but if you want to get fancy with coding you can tweak it however you want, maybe drive the lcd off an output pin and put the cpu into sleep mode. You might want to look at switching regulators and whatnot too.
