... that your way of driving (accelerate downhill, slow down uphill) is better than just driving at constant speed? The difference would be a few percent - you cannot reasonably do this estimate using the instantaneous gauge. It does not even have good accuracy - one division is 25 mpg and the next one is 40!!!
As I said, a digital "averaged mpg" gauge is much more useful and does not need that much real estate and does not distract the driver by wildly oscillating needle right in the center of the dash.
There is an option to get rid of the mpg gauge in the latest BMWs but you have to pay through the nose to get it (just like any other BMW option).
