The MPG meter goes back 30 years. Just a vacuum gauge with numbers on it. Quite effective. If my Dodges had instant economy as well as average economy on the overhead like Ford/Lincoln does, it would also make a great tool for better driving. I use my overhead avg econ. as a tool to keep my foot light to always try to keep the number as high as possible.
My average highway economy in my Hemi Ram was just under 20 before the Predator 93 octane tune. Now 22 is obtainable.
This is after a 120 mile trip @ 65mph backed up by a refill and doing the math.
