SuperMID revisited

[95metro]

I'm wondering how big the market would be for it. Most people who aren't FE nuts don't care that much about an MPG readout. Newer cars are starting to come with them and the ScanGauge does so much more than the MID when you look at all the sensors it reports and its diagnosis capability.

But, the MID is WAY more powerful than this thing:

It's for aircraft, only reports instant mpg, requires a GPS to calculate speed, and costs $199!

SVOBoy: Yeah, we use metric, but I personally like US MPG. It's just a number that's easy to deal with. I don't like using Imperial MPG or the L/100 km measurements at all. However, I do like km/L so the MID is perfect in that regard.

Matt sent me PM asking possibility of the MPG display.
It is possible, but the SuperMID has only 99.99 max.
My first contact with Dan was he is looking for more digits for the 110MPG marathon.

Are you happy with the 99.99MPG limit?

I personally think that a 99.99MPG limit is fine. Most people are never going to surpase 99.99MPG in an obd1 car, and if they do they can just switch to metric and deal with it.

Then again, is the limitation the number of characters? If so, can it go from 99.99 to 100.1 and so ON?

either way, 99.99MPG max is no big deal.

Well, it would be impossible to quantify a possible 100+ mpg segment to beat Darin, but I think I'm a long way from that anyway.

Of course, you'll be very happy if you could get the absolute fuel usage within 0.5%.

Absolutely correct on both points.

I did find a number of 272 cc/min on the TeamSwift website, but I can find no confirmation of accuracy from any official sources.
