I've never been able to get "instant" feedabck on my diesel--at least not instantaneous mpg becuase of instrumentation issues (there is no fueling info broadcast through the OBD port). I do have the factory installed trip mpg display which I've learned to use. I reset the trip meter before every trip and pay attention to the way it's changing. I also tried various techniques and compared my trip mpg over certain distances. For example, I tried A technique yesterday on my way to work and had 32 mpg by the time I got to that bridge--today I tried B technique and got 34 mpg over the same distance.
So, I'll say that instantaneous mpg is not a necessity per se, but I absolutely agree that you need some kind of feedback.
