New to forum/ hello
I just joined the forum after being a lurker for a while, I drive a 92 Integra, and achieved my all time best of 39mpg. I also got my new MPGuino a few days ago and am exited to get it installed, hope installing it goes well, might have a few questions once I start.

Welcome, man. Got a vacuum gauge? That can help with some of the best hypermiling techniques. (Lunchtime over... back to work... !)
Welcome!

I might be installing my mpguino later today. I just finished the enclosure, I plan to add how I made it, with some pictures, later on. I was planning on wiring it to the main harnes at the ecu, I have read that some people have problems with readings when wiring at the ecu, even with the right wires. Then they re-wire in the engine bay and get the proper reading. Does anyone have an opinion on the best spot to splice in for vss/injector?

I got my Mpguino installed yesterday, I used the wiki page to get some base values, there was a 95 Integra on there so I will start with those numbers. It seems to be working, but at times the mpg reading seems hard to follow, jumping up and down a lot, mostly when using cruise control. I have been doing some reading, and it looks like what is happening to me, has happened to others.
