Haha...last summer I was up around 29mpg. Letting the car idle in the morning in the cold is killing my average mpg.

Yes I do drive like an old lady most the time. On the weekends I boost around, but commuting I shift pretty early.

Not much to see in operation, its a mechanical so it just turns on and works. No fancy sweeps or anything...I'll take a vid tonight maybe.

So unfortunately my gauge was off from the start, reading -10inHg with no pressure applied when it should be reading close to 0. Trying to get just the gauge replaced without having to take out the whole system.

That sucks! I wish they released a few other gauges when they released this one so if someone wanted to you a mulitiple gauge pod they could...

Exeter is going to get me a new gauge :) (Thanks Nick).

Unfortunately they want me to rip out the ENTIRE install in replacement for the new one o_O .
