Also scangauge and ultragauge are fuel economy monitoring devices. they have the ability to show instant mpg, average mpg, engine load, intake temp, and many others by use of plugging into the obd2 port
Scanguage ii goes to 9999.9, I believe. I think the highest I have seen under 9999 is 214 ish. Coasting, that is.

I have mine with red backlighting, in the format
MPH RPMS
MPG INSTANT AVG MPG

The Mustang speedos suck. It'sractically impossible to see the exact speed. I think so rim swapping won't show a difference, since Ford uses 17-20s, maybe higher.
