Thanks for the link Captain! You are always so helpful. The Scangauge is of course a great product. I am a technical illiterate and even the Scangauge is too complicated for me, and when it comes to cars, I am definately not the DIY type. It is really really bad that the Matrix does not have an mpg monitor that is so widely available (by whatever name it is called) on other late model cars these days. The Subaru Imprezza has it, the Suzuki SX4 has it and almost all the German cars have it. I will wait for the Linear Logic product that you described to appear on the market and then decide if I want one. It will have to be a no-brainer to install.
BTW, sorry for side tracking. Now back to success stories. I enjoy reading your stories and sharing your joy on this sub-forum ladies and gentlemen
