On this regard I think the only way to REALLY know the best way to accelerate would be to repeat the same trip in the same conditions day after day using the scan guage to show how much fuel over the current trip has been used in ML and how far you have traveled in meters (if it would do such a thing), procede to test a 1000m drive by accelerating hard to the same speed and go that distance, repeat with the different variables up to the same speed day after day until you determine what makes your vehicle use the least gas to go that distance.

Now any ideas how I get my SG to display how much fuel I've used so far in reasonably small units and likewise to display the current distance traveled on the current trip in reasonably small units?

I would like to log this with temperature to figure out what form of acceleration is really the best over time. BSFC doesn't always match reality.

Cheers
