I went into it knowing the rebate is a hassle, having read this site. I bought it assuming the rebate didn't exist. The device is solid. You will need to learn to calibrate it. Until you do, don't believe the probably elevated numbers you'll see. Make sure to track your actual MPG with ODO/Pump until you get the UG well calibrated for distance and gallons used. Rebate or none, it will pay for itself over time. Lots of features. On my main running screen, I have throttle position and %load across the top. Then I have trip MPG, RPM, timing advance, and instant MPG in the bottom four. I find those to offer very useful ready reference data for hypermileing. You may find other layouts better. Enjoy!
