Wireless OBDII - MPG Gauge for $12
Just stumbled on these things ($12). You plug it into your OBDII port in your vehicle and it wirelessly sends data via Bluetooth to your Android phone. The phone program is free...called Torque. You can set up various gauges in analogue or digital.
This is great for me because I have older vehicles that don't have a gauge for mpg.
It will read fault codes and reset them.
Not that I'm interested, but it can track your 0-60 or 1/4 mile time and all kinds of other stuff. And it's easily moved from one vehicle to another.
You can set up 7 different pages of user selected data.
Here's a screenshot I took 5 minutes after I took it out of the box.
I tried it on the focus for kicks.

For $12 its not a huge gamble---even though I'm mired in the Dark Ages it'd be interesting seeing how well it works for others.
