Okay; I'm mildly surprised. I thought it might be instant mpg. I guess once you have your commute strategy memorized, it's just a matter of setting an overall baseline and trying to beat it. That, and the ability to test segments of trips.

Bottom line: At least get one of them. It will easily pay for itself. But I think spending the extra $50-60 for the SGII is the better investment.

Good luck whatever way you decide to go!

That's impressive. More than I would've expected. I guess there are some nuances that feedback best addresses.

Will post back if I get the SGe. I like the smaller size and price tag. Not sure if I need 4 gauges at once. Then again SGII is tried and true...

I agree on the graph not adding much to the gauge. My dad's Ford Fusion has something like that and it's not great.

Thank you for the suggestions.
