This has to be right up there with the “electric turbo chargers” that came out about 5 years ago that actually were worse for your car and sometimes had fins that broke off and went into your manifold. ---

It probably works though. I’ve noticed when I leave the trip computer on my GTO in the real time MPG mode I tend to drive easier. Having that little guage telling you how much gas you’re wasting is a good reminder for a lead foot like myself to ease up a little. It’s not that I don’t know romping on it uses more gas, it’s just having that constant reminder there that keeps you focused on it. ---

Awesome, a cheap accelerometer in a metal box with lights. Could only imagine how much the accuracy sucks in hilly areas due to the fact it’s not reading injector events/load. ---

I just got a little led boost gauge (first mod lol), and kid of use it like a fuel mizer… The more negative the better,? Positive numbers are bad :(, but so fun…
