What do you think of this?

Hi all,

We are running our hypermiling tool on Kickstarter at the moment. Our ambition is to make hypermiling attractive for the average driver.

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/...-on-the-street

Check it out, would love to know what you think.

Cheers,
Danny

Prefer to think of it as intelligent driver feedback... Didn't you see the stuff on energy tracking? It's super cool.

I already have an UltraGauge. Thanks, though.

They should give me one to try for thirty days if they want my opinion

Doubt that it would help me save any more gas than my on-board instrumentation. There's your challenge GoFar, whatcha got?

Its light is a pretty shade of blue that looks like it would match my car's OE display. It has the additional advantages of being more expensive than my UltraGauge and requiring me to use my phone. Torque was great in that it was pretty and required me to use my phone, but it wasn't expensive. You've managed to hit all three!

Notice that they aren't "expected" to ship until December. And look at the money they are raising. And what does this accomplish that a vacuum gauge carefully used cannot do? Flashing lights don't do much for me. That's why I like a voltmeter rather than a "gen" light.

And I believe it is OBDII, not OBD11 (eleven); but perhaps I am wrong about all of this. Certainly a lot of hooplah!

I think things got off on the wrong foot when a couple lines in I'm reading "go far: the first gadget that improves you're driving"

And I'm thinking...
