I would like to suggest this to people I know who are pretty much clueless as to how to drive efficiently, I think it would prove very helpful.

Sorry for being late to the party but
the Digital Fuel Mizer might be the item in question. I remember seeing it a while back when I was looking up info on the scangauge and vacuum gauges. Not sure how effective it is but it's cheaper than a SGII and requires no looking (since it also beeps at you besides the flashing).
In
this article, I think the boiling hot cup of open coffee in the cup holder or between the legs might be an even easier motivator for controlled accelerations/deccelerations. But from the article I read on Ben's other site
about accelerating and FE, slow and steady isn't always the best bang for the MPG.
Without a doubt, experimentation and practice seem to be the order for the day... and burning cups of coffee to the groin for the more adventurous.
