Default MPG Gauge

hey everyone, i am really interested in knowing what kind of MPG i'm getting as i'm driving. does anyone know if there is a gauge i can buy and hook up to get this kind of readout, or do i need to buy something else?

i've read that the BMW MPG gauges (which is exactly what i want) read the vacuum on the fuel line.

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! thanks!

Yes there is. But it is not a pretty piece by any means. It will actually do more than MPG. It will read all signals that go to your OBDII port.

Web site.... http://www.scangauge.com/

It is a OBD reader as well as a guage for a lot of things. Basicaly a reader of everything your ECM needs to know.

Rumor has it they are working on a better looking housing to put it in.

And some people think our Box is ugly. For 129 bucks you'd think they could make a little better enclosure for it. It looks like a winner for the J.C. Whitney catalog though...
