20 years ago, my father had an electronic engine monitoring system on
his '73 Bus. It monitored fuel flow, speed, etc. and could display all
sorts of
calculations like Gallons Per Hour, Miles Per Gallon, Distance To Empty, and so
forth and display them on its vacuum-fluorescent display. It additionally
operated
as a cruise control unit. Now I've been looking for something similar for
my '90
Vanagon, but I can't even think what such a beast would be called! Most of the
functions of that device are found built into many mid- to high-end cars
nowadays,
but I haven't been able to find any aftermarket equivalent. Anyone know of
such a
doohickey that one could wire in to a Vanagon?
