I think that implementing code for LCDs like 20x4 or 20x2 is not the best idea. First what about guys like myself who embeded LCD in the car and changing that would be impossible or very hard? Second thing is that putting too many information on the screen makes it harder to read. And we don't want our attention to go away for too long from the road ahead, don't we?
IMHO MPGuino's screen should be as simple as possible to get readings that we need within a blink od an eye. If we need some other info there are different screens that we can switch between.

Anyway I like Ardent's idea of A-B testing and I like new labels too.

I've tried to modify code to get temp reading but without success for now. I just need to understand code better. It's completely different from old metric version that I used to modify. ;-)
