the SG or UG will provide more benefits and you can also adjust the speed at which it displays readings from ultra slow to ultra fast, the consensus around here is its not about accelerating its about the second half or the coasting part of it, i have heard again and again ,, slam on it hard enough but be sure to stay out of open loop, you may need instrimuntation to accurately measure this, i used to accelerate slow thinking i was saving fuel but as soon as i tested the moderate to hard acceleration i noticed a gain in mpg, i am assuming if you accelerate to slow your MPG stay lower for longer decreasing efficiency, the goal is to get up to cruising speed as quickly as possible without reaching open loop,
