Just wondering how accurate it is/can be and how hard it is to install

 

never seen anyone use it why not use the stock one

 

Um, i have a 93 del sol, no MPG gauge

 

stock one meaning your fuel gauge.

math yo.

 

use less only goes to 30 my itr swap gets that

and civics never came with gas milage gauge,,,

 

ok, math seems like a good idea, but waiting for every time i fill up to find out how my engine is burning takes too long...i'd rather just see it while im driving so i can get a better estimate.....just wondering if anyone has ever used this and/or know how difficult it may be to install

that is a point, but my del sol has been performing for some reason at around 20 lately...

That thing is cool, lots O cool features.

 

I don't know from first hand experience on installation - but I do know that they're almost useless. If you've ever been in a BMW or similar car with an MPG gauge, they are so incredibly "spastic" that getting a meaningful reading is often difficult.

Yea I thought that too, but that thing is cool you can train it and calibrate it, seems like its pretty cool. I might try it one day.

 

That thing is cool, but 1. its for boats, and 2. its ****** expensive

 

Doesnt this gauge just tell you what kind of mpg your getting at that particular moment? I don't see any use for this gauge if thats all it can tell you..

old school tech there. It's a vacuum gauge.
