I have a digital camera, so i can take pictures of anything you want. I can take video of mpg gauge in action at anytime, I can get instant read of mpg at that moment, (I will have to start reading over).In my experience, once the vehicle is warmed up and acheives top cruising speed I can do instant read and the mpg will stay steady if on flat straight road.The only time the milage would start at a level and continue to increase was when I first put on the Magnets and they were making thier effect.
As has been tapped you will need an average rather than an instant - instant MPG will vary from under 20 to infinity depending on instant circumstances. An average, reproduceable over a repeatable route is what we are after with my method.

Its a little like measuring the energy your house uses. If you take an instant value then it could be that the oven is off or the heating is low or the opposite of those of those making the reading low or high. If you take it over a month that is better but summer months may use less (depending on your need for AC - I live in Scotland so that isn't required ) so it may not be representative. Take it over one year is much better as you go through the variations of seasons and weather. Over a number of years is better still as it also takes into account any weather extremes - e.g. the heavy snow we had in 2010 but not had since.

Anyway, I shall await progress and results
