Chris of PyroElectro Microcontrollers has a DIY guide post on how to make your own Personal G-Force Meter:
The main application of the accelerometer is either for sensing tilt or sensing acceleration. For this application A G-Force meter for my car will be made to see how many "G's" I pull while driving.
I drive like a grampa, so I'm sure my Personal G-Force meter will flatline near zero: Link - thanks Chris!
Makes me feel like a kid again. SWEET!

Some people are just so damn smart! Makes me feel inferior. *sigh*

Would be fun to take on a rollercoaster or bungee jumping or similar, just to see how high you can actually get it to go!

You can use it to save gas -- the lower the acceleration, the less gas you use.

Do you really need a device to tell you to drive slower?
