Hi Scott,
For the mi/km to empty feature, I think the cars that have this built in average this. Most times when the mpg feature is installed in the car, it has two screens instantaneous and average. I think the mi/empty is based on the rolling average so the value doesn't increase based on acceleration/cruise/coast/idle, etc. I'm not sure if it's possible in the controller you are using, but if so, can it be based on an average?

Doesn't matter... I'm still gunna buy it and I can ignore the value while accelerating.

I was working on the interface to the fuel level wire last night. and was thinking about that. I agree that the data needs to be averaged, otherwise the miles until empty would bounce all over (from 80 miles with a full tank while goosing it, to infinity when in DFCO).
