The MPGuino will be most accurate, but I like the Ultragauge for the wide range of useful features at a very reasonable cost and easy install. I'm just aware of the fact that it is inaccurate under lean burn and don't put much faith in it if I use lean burn a lot. When I do use lean burn a lot, my mileage for the tank is higher than what is reported on the Ultragauge.
so what you are saying is, the ultra gauge is very useful, but use another method at fillup to determine average mpg?
