Digital Instantaneous MPG readout for rear-window?

Basjoos says that his car is so aerodynamic, drafting a semi would not do him any good. I imagine that having someone draft him would not provide anyone benefit, but who else has a car that slippery?

I love this idea!

What worries me is that someone reading this who is being a complete jerk might end up trying to run you off the road or pull out a gun. Not that it wouldn't be an adventure trying to dodge the moron, I just think that people are going to do what they want and not care about the consequences.

Safety first is my 2 cents! But still have fun out there on the roads!

Thanks for all of the replies guys. Yeah, I agree with all of you about everything said. The Freetronics board is perfect, IF I ended up doing this.

I've got another idea for now, one that may be a bit less distracting/danger to other motorists, and still get the eco-idea and word out. I'll post up details in my build thread if/when I get to that point.

Thanks all!

I've always wanted to be able to display messages quickly. "BACK OFF" or "COP AHEAD" or whatever.

Interesting idea. I thought the rear of your vehicle is just for you to flaunt your sexual orientation, political views and your take on the first and second amendment.
