The result of my first 200km with MPGuino were fine, not sensed any fault, showing the great work the t vago. Still have not adapted well to the menus, but with time it will improve, below I will make some suggestions that might help.

Yes 1.5 or 2 seconds, it is a matter of try and see what works best.

This is why I made it a requirement that any code I added would still have to run on legacy hardware, even if the code will also support better or more advanced hardware. This is why I am not currently thinking of supporting anything other than a 16x2 LCD display.

Glad you stayed true and did not follow my deviations because we must not forget the others.
The suggestion I have to make has to do with the position of the values in the menus. Sometimes changing menu have the same values but in different positions, the idea was to try to maintain the same positions in the various menus for easier identification.
What do you think?
Code:
"Instrument"
-----------------------------------
| instant FE - instant speed |
| instant fuel rate - tachometer |
-----------------------------------
"Custom"
-----------------------------------
| instant FE - instant speed |
| instant fuel rate - current FE |
-----------------------------------
"Instant/Current"
----------------------------------
| instant FE - instant speed |
| current distance - current FE |
----------------------------------
"Instant/Tank"
-------------------------------
| instant FE - instant speed |
| tank distance - tank FE |
-------------------------------
"Current"
-------------------------------------
| current fuel used - current speed |
| current distance - current FE |
-------------------------------------
"Tank"
-----------------------------
| tank fuel used - tank speed |
| tank distance - tank FE |
-----------------------------
"EOC/Idle"
--------------------------------------------------
| current EOC distance - current fuel used at idle |
| tank EOC distance - tank fuel used at idle |
--------------------------------------------------
"Remaining"
---------------------------------------------
| tank fuel used - tank fuel remaining |
| tank time to empty - tank distance to empty |
---------------------------------------------
Thank you
