MPG or Fuel Econemy in Streetdeck
Where is the Miles per Gallon Status in StreetDeck? That is one major feature I would like before I purchase. Could you guys put it in natively or could someone make a plugin? It seems like it is just a calculation of what information is already available, but I have no idea how to create plugins or anything of the sort. This would be a great standard feature.

...sure would. And easy to implement. Just ask the user to input the amount of fuel pumped at each fill up, and the rest could easily be calculated.

Good idea.

Bump. I would like to see this too. Maybe even have it work with OBDII to calculate MPG.

Anyone that can code a digital mod can code something like this....though there's no way it would be entirely accurate. Just as it's not entirely accurate in the vehicles that have this feature stock. It should be noted that these are only rough estimates.

Rough estimates are better than no estimates.

Who can code this digital mod? I have no idea how to do it...

I thought of doing this as part of a trip meter mod. I've started it but it's nowhere near ready. Will probably rewrite most of it as a DLL.
