Nice going! X2, cars are DC...

Snappy looking meter compared to shop worn one...

Now you landed it in the correct place.

Do the drivers side for bonus points!

I did. so no seat of the pants difference I can feel. we are actually heading out on a ~2000 mile road trip to the Oregon coast so we will see if any mpg gains.

Now you're "talking"!

Driving impressions?
Fuel economy and/or performance??

FWIW, buying a clamp on multimeter is not required. We have enough data to confirm my posts.

Just be sure to connect a ground cable to the points we know will give maximum benefits.

my seat of the pants feels no difference, I admit I was hoping too feel some difference but have not. I have not told my wife I did anything and it is her car and will see if she notices anything. she does drive much less aggressive than I do. we are heading out on a road trip next week to the Oregon coast so will no for sure if mpg has increased. I hand check every tank and believe it or not the cars computer is very close on highway driving to hand figuring.

These CX5s make great low end torque and are geared pretty darn close to perfect. It will take a will tuned Dyno Butt to feel the difference. I couldn't but my Engine Load A vs B tests on the same road, same day, same speed on CC showed a nice gain.

Another place to see if you notice, does it not downshift as often or goes further up the hill before a downshift than before.

I hope you guys have a great trip!

What situations would you use it in where the Kill-a-Watt won't work?

I got the Triplett splitter, tester. It is a circuit tester and splitter. The indicator lights, light up to show if the circuit is grounded properly and does a GFCI test. I tested the GFCI in my bathroom tonight and it kill the lights! LOL

I'll keep it to test circuits and as a splitter for my clamp on meter. Down side, it's limited to 15a...
