Got mine!

Got my ecometer today! I only had the oportunity to drive about 20 miles but my initial experiences have been very favorable.
Install was all of 60 seconds. I plugged it into the OBD connector and mounted it on the driver's side A pillar. The wire I tucked in along the trim,down the side of the dash. When you turn on the key it does it's thing and that's it.

The display is very easy to read despite it's small size and the brightness is adjustable. I was quite amazed how many bars on the ecoguage I could eliminate WITHOUT losing any speed on hills, etc by letting up on the accelerator a notch or two (fewer bars=higher mpg). You can even see the affect of a cold engine on fuel economy.

It's kind of fun to crest a hill, let off completely and watch DFCO get you 160 mpg+ lol!

TBD is the accuracy of the avg mpg reading which I'll update on later. I'm optimistic given what I've seen so far and it can be adjusted if necessary.

Very pleased so far!

Note-In my post above I typo-ed the price-it was actually 79.95 inc S/H. Sorry!
