I was wondering, anyone try some sort of feed from the Scan Gauge etc. to show a real time display of current MPG in nice LEDs to all of the drivers behind? Maybe in the back window, or on the trunk?

I remember changeable, scrollable LED displays that people had inside their rear windows in the 1980s...

Alternatively, I was thinking about putting 'official' sounding words on the back of my car regarding Fuel Economy Testing...

"Test Load - Not for Hire"
(we use those at work for our test fleet trucks and trailers).

"MPG Test vehicle"

"Fuel Econ Test in Progress"

and then of course there is the classic

Yosemite Sam "Back Off" (but not on MPG killing mud flaps of course...)
