So how 'bout that Ecometer by Auto meter?

Glad you guys got em.

Cosworth, nice numbers. Were you able to compare the ecometer's avg mpg to "an old fashioned" calculation at fill up? Just curious how close it was. TIA

The meter actually underestimated the average mpg (meter read ~49.x mpg). However, I need to stick to one gas pump (at a gas station) to really see where the difference might come from.

Nice! I agree-the meter gets close enough that is makes you wonder which is more accurate, the pump method or the meter.

ezhacker,

I've noticed it sometimes takes a couple of seconds to register when I first start driving, but have not noticed any lag time after that. I'll keep a closer eye for it here in the next few days.
