Hmmm....
Looks like I've got some length-of-payback-time calculations to do.
I know a Super MID would help me oodles, I'm sure I could get to >65mpg with one, but right now that's $160 worth of bike parts that I couldn't get for my new project...
And my employer pays for my gas...
Decisions, decisions.

You can always re-sell a MID.
So get one, use it long enough to fine-tune your driving habits, then sell it to someone else. There are always people looking.
You'll get most of your $ back & so will dramatically shorten your payback time.
You won't be able to maintain *maximum* efficiency from your driving after you sell it, but once you've used it to hone your skills & cemented them into habits, you could probably maintain 80% (guessing) of the gains you got from it even after you've passed it on to someone else.

Did Yoshi ever come out with the MPG SuperMID yet or just the km/l?

the supermid is made by an ecomodder in Japan, ithink. he has only so much time. and with the weak dollar...against us. i searched in Japanese.
hold your hat, the ecomodder guru's are busy designing a MPG meter in the Instrumentation forum. i don't understand all the electronics so i am trying to lend moral support. go modders!

Back on topic, I am currently on my first tank using the scangauge on the Elantra. Looking at my fuel log, a mixed 50/50 tank should lead roughly 30 mpg. Guess what, I'm going to hit 37+ mpg on my current 50/50 tank. The SG may be off as it's not calibrated yet, but I know the distance points at the quarter tank and half tank marks for 35 mpg and I'm past that.
The SG is the single best mod one can do.
