Thoughts?
I personally do not like to draw attention. You already know your Honda Insight has drawn attention due to its unique profile. It might be neat to "create" a rear digital display reflecting your current fuel mileage but, I would want the ability to turn this off when I want or need to. Good luck and maybe a photo of your next invention would be a welcome addition.
