Sounds like a suggestion for the ScanGauge programmers. A hypothetical "SG III" could have a wifi connection, or the "SG II" could have an option to download it's data (isn't this is a promise of future SG II firmware updates?!?!?) and then upload said data to an Internet database.

That got me thinking... What features would you like to see on the "ultimate" fuel economy computer?
Couple of things I'd like, off the top of my head...
- Heads-up display, projected onto the windscreen
- Settable audio tone, (e.g. when "target driving" - aka DWL - to a specific instantaneous fuel consumption rate) that sounds/changes as you start to approach/drop below your target
- An interface with the cruise control for target driving - so you set your target MPG, not a target speed, and the computer talks to the cruise control
