I'm new here and want to learn about instrumentation. Been picking up some tips in the ecodriver's ed. Someone said to get a gauge. I've got a '96 civic HX (actually just bought a second one). Love these cars and get great mileage.........but I want more. I believe this is OBD and not OBDII. What exactly is a scan gauge? What is a MPGuino? Which do I need? How much do they cost? Where do I get one? What about the vacuum gauges I've been seeing mentioned?

Thanks,
Steve
