I just picked up my Black H3 early last week. I also was curious as to actual MPG (and I suck at math) so I picked up THIS at ThinkGeek for like $130. Just hooked it up. When I fillup this afternoon and drive that tank empty, I'll post some numbers.

Let me know how you like the ScanGauge. I was looking at those. They provide a lot of useful information. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I like it. Does provide a lot of info. Temps, pressures, fuel consumption, etc.
Little complicated to navigate though and the backlight could be brighter.
It tells me that on the last full tank I averaged 17.4 MPG. That was a long highway trip from NJ to PA and back. Terrain was mostly flat and I used cruise control a lot and was generally at 70mph.
The tank before that I averaged 14.3 MPG. That is my daily commute traffic. Real congested stop and go traffic from NJ to NY and back. Mostly flat, some hills, LOT of braking and accelerating, averaging between 15mph to 30mph.
Never found a good place to mount it permanently, so it just sits in top right corner on top of dash. Stays put, doesnt slide and wire to OBDII connector I leave coiled on side of dash. Never gets in way. Well I pretty much found out what I wanted to know. If anyone in NY/NJ area wants to borrow it and try it out, lemme know.
