 The CarChip is pretty frikkin' cool. I don't know why no one's done this yet but...it's a $70 device that plugs into your car's onboard data port (in most cars produced since 1996) and measures the way you drive. Additionally, the CarChip E/X can be set to tell you when you're driving like a glutton. If you break too fast, accelerate quickly or speed, the CarChip E/X will beep, letting you know that you're wasting gas. Of course, if you like to waste money, this will just be annoying. But folks who want to increase their MPG without getting a new car should definitely check out the CarChip. Via AutoBlogGreen Comments

Can't people already tell if they're speeding, braking hard or accelerating excessively?

If you need a device to tell you when you're speeding perhaps you shouldn't be driving...
and you certainly should brake rather than break.
