Actually, I just remembered that you have a Obd2-reading gauge, so the engine load reading will prolly be better, but I thought that was the purpose of the vacuum gauge. Here is a primer on pulse and glide: Driving technique: exploring 'Pulse and Glide' - MetroMPG.com

What is the vacuum gauge for then? Why did you want it?

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
