Eh motec?

Well it is actually cheaper to do the math but what's more satisfying that being able to see that you are actually have 25-35 mpgs in real time and in avg? Hehe.

the problem with the realtime display of an mpg gauge is the fact that if you're not on the throttle at all, it'll read some outrageously good gas consumption ... and vice versa if you're on throttle.... it also varies depending on percentage of throttle per gear as well ... IE you'll get better mileage in 3rd gear half throttle than 2nd gear at the same position.

While I completely see where you're coming from, I agree with everyone else that says just do the math.... because really the only time you're concerned with your mpg is when you're near the end of your tank.... and after a few consistant tanks, you'll be able to learn a way of driving that offers maximum fuel economy...

but either way...
