And please don't tell me to buy a Scangauge II or something. I paid $150 for the entire car, which I bought to save money, and $150 is a lot of fuel in such a small car (over 1666 miles at current gas prices and my current tank average with the few mods I've done). Thanks for your input.
punch a hole in your exhaust so you can hear your rpm.
