What do you think about the smart phone App "Torque Pro " paired with a Bluetooth OBD II (ECM brand) device? I like ScanGauge, but have not seen UltraGauge. but the Torque Pro App appears to be very tunable. Ultimately, these are testing tools not likely to be permanently mounted in my car. they will be used to test the impacts of mods.

Somewhere I've got an old "eco meter" made by Auto Meter, but always found that challenging to get it calibrated correctly

As to drafting I agree that most people do it, without realizing it in congested traffic. My normal commute is not during high traffic commuter times for the most part. As I age I also question my reaction time after 8+hours of work
