A fuel-economy gauge signals to the driver the current engine state as it relates to fuel economy. Red or Yellow means poor fuel economy, Green means good fuel economy. This most directly relates to how far the accelerator pedal is pushed, so you might think the gauge is of limited use. However, up to 30% fuel economy gains can be achieved by tailoring your driving style to match. It is surprising how easing up on the pedal will affect economy, while still accelerating the car.
The Datsun gauge for the B210 was called was called Econo Meter/エコノメーター. The B310 version of the econometer (per Datsun catalog) was called Economonitor in Australia and ECONO MONITOR エコノモニター in Japan.
In operation, a green light appears at low throttle openings, and a red light at heavy throttle. It is of course a type of vacuum gauge. Does it work to enhance fuel economy? Yes. By keeping acceleration light, the driver can achieve fuel savings up to 30%. And yet you still have maximum power available, should you decide to put your foot down and throw economy to the wind.

<-- back to B210 Gauges
For Japan, after '75-10 an Econometer (vacuum gauge) was fitted to the tachometer spot (round or square). Tachometer was only standard on GX.
B310
<-- back to B310 Dash
With the B310 meter, a green light appears at low throttle openings, and a red light at heavy throttle. This indicates the relative fuel economy.
