Black crackle paint is nice but a dust collector. I prefer bare aluminum.
Millen never made meters. Think Triplett, Weston, etc. 
I prefer 866As to 5U4s.

My 1980 VW Rabbit Diesel got over 40 mpg in the city and over 50 mpg on the 
highway. (That's measured over the entire life of the car - I kept a book). I 
got 17 years out of that car - wish I still had it.
