well i would love to tell you to buy one IF IT WORKED FOR ME! well now iam down from it now give the right mpg then hours of calibration to it just doesnt work now it keeps saying connection failed no matter what and how many times i plug it in! iam getting a really bad vibe from this iam going to return it hopefully i can get a good one and this was just a dud.
I just received my Kiwi MPG and I have to say that I do not like it. It is telling me that my 99 Honda Civic is getting 21.7 -30 mpg at 60 mph with the cruise control on. That is way off. If your thinking about buying one, I would say to hold off. I may be able to figure this thing out but because of the "plug and play" there isn't much I can do.
Also, I forgot to add that the wire comes off of the wrong side and gets in the way a lot. Simple things seemed to be overlooked during the engineering of this device.
That sounds completely normal -- slight incline and/or wind changes will cause the fuel consumption to change quickly and often. I don't think there is anything wrong with the gauge...

Thankz NeilBlanchard for pointing this out... I'm looking up all the info I can about the KIWI MPG b/c I'm thinking about getting it in late July for my b-day and I want it to be good but everyone is saying all kinds of BS about it making it sound bad but from what I can tell it seems perfectly fine to me (especially for $89)
...would help if someone posted (from the manual) what the "calibration" process is, that would help others understand what's going on inside the Kiwi as it calculates your MPG.
