Anyone used one? or know much about it?

Tempted to get one so i can find out exactly how economically i drive

 

[barker22]

group buy could be in order. since 9/10 people on CS are driving gods, average over 40mpg, always stick to speed limits and never see a track but still insist on owning an RS, makes me laugh

I would be interested in a group buy, but as long as we can buy variations (i.e. to fit different cars, as mine isn't a Clio)

Is it just a fancy MPG reader?

 

[Hazza]

More or less yeah...

• Uses proprietary software to calculate fuel economy performance (real time and/or average.)
• Display real time fuel economy performance in both a radial energy consumption graph and in a precise, easy-to-read digital format.
• Offers 4 different modes that can be easily selected by the driver at the touch of a button.
• Instantaneous Fuel Economy, Average Fuel Economy, Digital Tachometer with Instantaneous Fuel Economy, Digital Speedometer with Instantaneous Fuel Economy

I would just use it to see how low I can get it tbh.

I couldn't give a s**t about my economy. When the light comes on, I get more petrol.

Would it work with standalone managment?

Would u be interested tho? Is it worth making it a group buy possibility? Because i know Demontweeks sell this, and I duno if CS have good relations with them?

No idea, guess best to email the company.

I wouldn't buy one, but feel free to organise the group buy.

I have an on-board comp. I don't pay any attention to that so can't see me paying any attention to this either.

Ok, but how would i go about it?.. obviously start up a group buy thread, and ring up Demon Tweeks?.. do u know if CS have discount relations with DT already?

Think this would stand out more than the on board comp.. so i would definitely pay more attention to it, but its different for me, as my car doesn't have such trip computer readings.. well it does, but not as high tech.

You would need to be a member first of all, as it will have to go into the marketplace.

Guess so, well i will see if there is any interest from this thread alone and go on from there, thank you.
