Sorry, Mark, I should've gone ahead and added the ;) to my last post. In
the case of the 5kcstq, even if you could rig something like that up
without breaking other functionality, you'd be reading "Average Outside
Temperature." (They replace the instantaneous gas mileage with intake
pressure on this car.) I suppose that doesn't apply to Huw's, but
anyway...
