Doofus/Tele Man,
Absolutely. Getting feedback only once every week or so at the pump is not very effective.
It was neat seeing the real time readings that have verified what ya'll have been saying for years:
-don't accelerate uphill
-pulse and glide is really fun also, but much easier when traffic is light.
-engine on, coasting in neutral (really fun when exiting the highway to see that # shoot over 200)
-driving with load

Oh, and I failed to mention, that I did air up my tires to 40 psi. I might have to experiment some more with even higher pressures.
