Hi Out There

Does anyone have experience or first hand knowledge of car computers?
I am talking about $100+ units that can give you gas mileage, miles to go
on this tank, gallons left, etc.  Some also give outside temp, voltage and
so on.   Are these things just gadgets or do they really have practical
value.  Are they reliable?  

I have only seen one article that wasn't an ad (Consumer Reports I think)
and they couldn't decide if they were really worth it.  They are certainly
interesting gadgets and maybe worth some discussion.
