wondering if i can put an MPG guage in my car

[suprakid11]

i was driving my friends car and i noticed that in the dash it showed his miles per gallon , not a new feature but i was wondering if you could buy a guage that did that becuase i think that that would b a nice gauge to have in my car is there anything out there for us

 

[MK3Brent]

Super Monitor does it apparently.

My friends bimmmer does that, its pretty cool.


I think this would jsut make me depressed though:icon_bigg

Super Monitor does it.

Not to be an ass, but why? Most new cars have them, hell my buddies cobalt has one, doesn't mean its a nice car. I think its lame, kinda like the compass they put in a lot of GM cars. Most of these "MPG Gauges" are inaccurate at best. If you care that much then go for it, I don't wanna stop ya.

But ya know if you know the number of miles you've driven, and divide it by the amount of fuel used, it gives you your MPG, without the extra work weight and power drain of a guage thats pointless at the end of the day.

Sorry if I come off as a prick, but I wouldn't do it.

Good luck with it if you try to make one.

My V-pro has a MPG feature with the F-Con Navigator attached
you can even set up target MPG levels, and it will limit your driving accordingly

 

[casgallo]

limit your driving accordingly

no thank you.


on mythbusters they had some sort of inline unit that did it but i cant remember/ what/ how/ or why

 

[Poodles]

OBD2 or up can do it easily...

it will limit your driving accordingly

So it's kind of like driving around on the weekend with the wife in the car? I'll pass.



Yeah, as mentioned the SuperMonitor will tell you MPG, but the minute you start modifying your system forget it.

dude what's wrong with something that tells you which direction you're heading in? i DEFINITELY wouldn't mind one if i were lost in some rural area

:dunno:

 

[ViR2]

is there super monitor version awailable in KM's not Miles?

 

[CRE]

I don't know if it was available in Europe, but I'm pretty sure it was available in Canada.

 

[IJ.]

If you get a JDM one it's going to be in KM's

 

[csnow]

:dunno:

:rofl:

 

[The Reaper]

thats a friggin HUGE calculator!!!!

yea and the Super Monitor (if its even accurate from factory) will no longer be accurate once you mod the car.

 

[ValgeKotkas]

It isn't accurate from the factory either. At least so I heard, that actually none of them can work right.

Yeah, I feel safer with the old fashioned method. Watch your fuel gauge, and fill it from the same point, remember how much you put in, and divide.
