Factories jumping on the bandwagon

I just had a good laugh. I came across an $87 gauge that plugs into the OBD port. The Mopar Ecometer "reads current fuel economy, average fuel economy, RPM, and vehicle speed. The red, amber, and green lights indicate how well you are doing at keeping the vehicle in the most fuel efficient driving mode."

Of course, they won't include real gauges from the factory but they'll gladly make a buck pretending they care by selling stripped down accessories. ScanGauge and UltraGauge have got to be running scared.
