The vacuum gauge has allowed me to keep at about my summer MPG average despite the winter weather, wind, rain and snow. If you can't do any other instrumentation right away, a $25 vacuum gauge and 15 minutes of installation time might make an immediate difference for you like it did for me.

Wow!! 35mpg with that kind of climb?!?
Very impressive!!
Great suggestion... I will look into doing that. Unfortunately, no wrenching for the next week or two due to planned trips...
