Trevor, keep in mind that your G-meter is very sensitive to road conditions,
and it's always best to take two runs, one in each direction and average.  I
enjoy mine a lot, but always be careful that your tests are consistant and
on a flat surface.  Also, it doesn't have a Gyro in it, it's a silicon cube
with a weight, I could go into how the conductivity of a semiconductor
changes iunder compression, but why bore you to death.
