That's what I thought but did they have the technology to do that. A
number of years ago I think an American gauge company came out with a
vacuum gauge that was calibrated to read MPG. Sort of a novelty item
to get you to let up on the throttle.
Hmmm! I guess my old laptop wasn't as bad as I thought.
Thanks ya'll.. or at least until someone with experience comes along.
