The AutoMeter EcoMeter is a colorful, and compact alternative. While it doesn't deliver all of the deep data of the SG and UG, the color sweep display keeps your eyes on the road. (Disclaimer: AutoMeter helped Kickstart my Ain't Fuelin' pilot.)
That UG II is a great price for what you get, I think we'll get 2 of those.

More maintenance stuff: fuel system clean, PCV valve, switch to high mileage full synthetic oil on the next oil change and low rolling resistance tires when it's time for a tire change.
Like I said, I'm not hypermiling, but we've been getting a synthetic blend oil from the mechanic. Is full synthetic THAT much better on MPG?
