Next step gauging might be an inclinometer, or according to Wikipedia "...or clinometer". [I guess it's like flammable/inflammable]

For my airspeed indicator, I use a small brass tube about three inches long and maybe 1/8-inch inside diameter sticking a couple inches in front of the grill to serve as a pitot tube. I connected a hose to the tube and ran it through the engine bay and the firewall to the instrument dial. The airspeed indicator also needs a second tube to compare the oncoming air with static air, and for this I ran a second hose from the engine bay through the firewall to the instrument. It all works good.
In the interest of determining why my mileage is up or down on any particular trip, I also have an inclinometer to show the degrees of up-or-down travel for the road I'm on.
It takes a lot of things to explain differences in mileage on any particular stretch of road. Only a nut cares what the differences are. Guilty as charged.
