Since I traded in the Vibe, the ecometer has had a new home on the dash of the Silverado. Still works great but one thing I noticed is that, in the Silverado, the instantanious reading doesn't jump around nearly as much as it did in the Vibe. That can probably be attributed to the fact that (at least with the manual transmission Vibe) the throttle is EXTREMELY sensitive to any change in position. 5spd stick w/4.31 final vs 4spd auto w/ 3.42 final. 2.66 times the displacement...

Still, for what it is and what it does, it works quite well.
