How can you tell if it's better to accelerate quickly (and then coast) or slowly (but for a longer time)? How can you tell if it better to drive with constant throttle or constant speed in a hilly area?
I was able to get ~10% better mpg by driving in pulsed mode (fairly quickly accelerate from 65 to 75 and then coast in neutral) rather than drive at constant 70. Can you tell those things using the instantaneous gauge? No ! You need to average one-over-mpg and average it over distance (not time) to get the overall mpg. There is no way you can do it even approximately in your head, not to mention to detect minute changes.
