+1 The Best part about MPGuino is it really is close to real time, my SG2 is really laggy by comparison (yes it's set to 'Fast' comm). After getting used to 'Guino the SG2 is only slightly better than OE FE instumention.

I can't say it's made a big difference to my number as I've already had the techniques mastered, it mostly reaffirms if what I've been doing was right or not. The fuel log doesn't have any real blip when instumentation went in, because in the summer heat A/C use is the biggest factor (3l/100km!) for me.

The real gains can be made with instant feedback urging you to keep up the good work, or to try harder FE instrumentation far outshines a vacuum gauge in this regard.
