GS has new competition from ... Nissan

NISSAN’S NEW "CARWINGS" SERVICE PROMOTES ECO-DRIVING

Currently available only in Japan:

Quote:
The new service will assist drivers to become more conscious of their vehicle’s fuel-efficiency performance by providing them with the average fuel-consumption data according to their day-to-day driving habits, and allows the driver to track and monitor improvements to their eco-driving skills over a period of time.

The system can calculate the average fuel efficiency performance of each vehicle equipped with CARWINGS through data sent directly to the CARWINGS Center, where the data can be retrieved on the member’s personalized webpage.

It's a good idea.

okay... now to think of a way to get the SGII people to provide a way to upload data to gassavers.

Maybe with the new USB data logger?

The main difference being that the car submits the information directly to Nissan's site through telematics.

Big brother is watching. This is one options that I would opt out on. If they want people to save gas all cars sold need to have a instantaeous Fuel Readout.
