I was thinking some about the particulars of implementing this and I think inferring the grade from the velocity and throttle data may not be sufficiently responsive, especially given the low ODB update rate. I know when I was using the ScanGauge I'd anticipate incline changes and then just fine tune it with the instantaneous mpg readout. If that's true, it'd imply adding an inclinometer. In theory all one needs is the incline and velocity to control throttle, but it'd need to be calibrated for each vehicle. Weight changes would show up in the changes in velocity, so that'd be no problem.
All in all, a lot of work. Better to wait for a Google Android device I want and then explore this via software. I keep trying to challenge that conclusion and failing. Oh well.
