The Kiwi ($289; 800/270-5699; www.juicedhybrid.com) lets drivers monitor their mpg in real time and, thus, modify driving behavior to improve fuel efficiency.
Numerous modes are available for tracking driving performance. The Kiwi score shows your driving efficiency with a moving bar graph. Light throttle and high gear achieve the best score. Many situations that we thought would provide excellent mpg were only so-so, or downright poor. It is a very tough taskmaster.
The Kiwi is a wonderful device, a perfect companion for those who want to save both the planet and money.
