MPG measuring devices

[Rick]

after paying £1.11 a litre for petrol today im starting to have to worry now as its getting expensive to travel further than the local shops every day and im a bit pissed off really cuz my wages dont increase in proportion to my rent, food and fuel increasing...

 

fooking shit arse country.

 

anyway back on topic; iv heard you can fit devices in your fuel line that measure the rate at which your fuel is being consumed and displays it digitally in a Miles per gallon/litre reading. (like in modern cars)

 

where can i get such a device and does anyone have one.

im gonna have to stop racing about now if im to survive rip-off britain

Just got back from egypt, 10 pence a litre over there

 

maybe we could rent an OSF tanker

Question is, will be able to see your rate of consumption make you drive any slower? Or will it just sit there looking pretty having cost you the equivalent of a few tankfuls of black gold to buy and install.

 

I can see it in my daily drive, doesn't make me go any slower. I figure if we let them tax us into changing our ways then they've won and I ain't for turning!

I think there standard equipment on alot of BMW's. Put your foot down and just watch the needle go from 60 mpg to 0

Economy meters tend to work off the inlet vacume only factory fitted ones tend to work off fuel flow
