I thought most luxo-barges had them back then, meanwhile the MPG-focused economy cars didn't. (Oh, Irony!)

Regardless, since it's pre-OBD-II and the usual options (eg. ScanGauge) won't work, you'll need a DIY MPGuino. You tap into 12v power, vehicle speed sensor, and one fuel injector signal and you'll have a very accurate gauge with useful features.

FYI: I put one in my '90 Miata this summer:

Look for more info in the MPGuino sub-forum.

This 1991 LS400 does not have a MPG gauge. My friends Lexus that is 12 years newer has one though. I do not know what the first model and year of Lexus was that came with a MPG gauge.

It is good to have the MPGuino option. Thanks
