<div><FONT face=arial size=2>On the subject of oil/gas prices, I recently purchased this device, in the interest of learning how to save gas: (and, I admit I am a gadget freak).</FONT></div> <div> </div> <div><A href="http://www.scangauge.com/">http://www.scangauge.com/</A></div> <div> </div> <div><FONT face=arial size=2>I was getting about 26.5 mpg with my Nissan Frontier pickup driving to/from work and locally. With the instant feedback I was getting from the above device, I learned how to change my driving habits, and on the last tank of gas I got 31.8 mpg. I now get better gas mileage locally than I get on the highway.</FONT></div> <div><FONT face=arial size=2></FONT> </div> <div><FONT face=arial size=2>Obviously, the best way to save gas is to slow down. But I was learning when was the best time to shift gears (manual transmission) and which routes really save gas.</FONT></div> <div><FONT face=arial
