Cool. Then name it "Doc" when you set up your garage entry for the car! ... BTW, I'd go with the ultra gauge again... cheaper and it displays more data per screen (six instead of four readouts).
And here is an interesting little read about 8th gen auto trans shifting characteristics. There might be hypermiling-useful data in those descriptions, IDK. With a good gauge that can tell you engine load, I would imagine you could select D2 or D3 for the characteristics described and "drive with load" at the most efficient level, thus getting more of the benefits of a manual in city traffic than we usually imagine possible for auto transmissions.
