Old Tele, for sure, that would be nice. A savvy person might be able to daisy chain another device using the other RJ-45 port on the SG.

Here's a photo of my SG/UG data logging setup.

The results get better with lower speeds. My pulse:glide ratio is 1:3 (10:30) in fourth gear 25-40 mph P&G. It's 1:5 (8:40) in third gear 15-32 mph P&G. It's 1:10 (3:30) in second gear 11-25 mph P&G.

I tried David's suggestion to log TFC after setting my fuel cost to $10/gallon. Unfortunately, it did not vary a bit from $1.03 during the entire pulse cycle, even after I went into EOC. Scratch that idea.

I ran two 95% LOD pulses, one logging GPH, and one logging LPH. I was pleasantly surprised to find I could simply set my fluid measurements to liters, leaving distance in miles, and then I could log LPH. When/if I convert the data to GPH or MPG, or keep them as LPHK, the LPH data show more resolution. The LPH fuel usage goes from 0.07 to 10.9, v. the GPH range from 0.02 to 2.81

Using the GPH data below for comparison with the figures above, I used more fuel for the same period of time to accelerate the same speed over the same distance at 95% LOD.
0.004774444 sum gas used in pulse
19 # intervals 7.6 time to pulse
12/3/11 95% LOD P&G 25-40. 60 degrees, sunny, dry. Wind quartering rear 25-40 mph.

After I finished the 95% LOD runs, I played with some 10-25 mph P&G. Here are the results (sea level flat drive).
