My favorite totally free and easy mod: I have run my tires at 60psi for more than a year, so does PaleCivic (I got it from him)...
Do you ever cut the engine while coasting in neutral? When I first tried bump starting at 40mph--using brucepick's description--I was amazed.
Agreed on all points, though I haven't used a vacuum gauge myself. Love my MPGuino. I use the ScanGauge for the other engine data like engine temp.

I'm also a member of the hi-psi fan club. That's all I had better say about that!
