My idea was to see if cruising in 5th vs 6th gave better mileage at different speeds. I think there is a way to tell by vacuum too.

I did some testing on the serial converter w/ FTDI chipset. You only need to connect pin M to Tx/Rx and pin A to Gnd. It's two wires only. Will post a pic of it when I can.
