    V8 Consumption.

    Just wanting to know if there is a device or gadjet you can mount on the dash which connects to the engine ecu somehow to give you the instant fuel consumption and engine stats on a disco V8 Or would it be too depressing watching it sit on 30l/100.

    From memory the P38 has one on its odometer readout. So do commodores and falcons, try Jaycar

    Print out and stick this to your dash...

    Instant Fuel Use Reading = Lots
    Instant Engine Analysis = Sounds Great

    I usually get 15 on the high way and 20 around town but probably 30 in the sand and mud. I will Try JAYCAR but not the faintest on how or where to connect it to. If shi7 box falcons can have it then there must be a way.

    Silicon Chip Magazine have published a car computer project which will give you live fuel consumption (along with lots more info) but it's hardly a project for electronic novices, I'm afraid. You can view the introduction to the article at http://www.siliconchip.com.au/cms/A_102510/article.html which will give you some idea of the capability and complexity of the device. To view more you'll need to purchase access to the magazine of course.
