Well, your car will run in vacuum when coasting... nice to monitor that too...

Default your car actually runs in vacuum about 75% of the time
unless you're constantly WOT. Doing 80 on the freeway, you're in vacuum. Doing 50 in 4th on the street you're in vacuum.

You won't be able to point out that you have a "suck and blow" gauge... you'll just have "blow" :-)
