I can see one HUGE advantage over just calculating it on your own. You
could do real-time on-the-fly changes to speed and other factors and see how
they affect mph rather than fill the tank up, drive for a bit, head back to
the station fill-up, calculate. Change and start it all over. When I
wanted to see what my V8 TB did to my mpg on the highway, had to top off the
tank make a few highway runs (which aren't too often for me) and then head
back and fill it up (a day later no doubt) and calculate it. It would be
nice to throw on a mod and just hit the road and see what you get.
