Which is best guys? Not sure who has one, but it has to have a trip odometer I can reset, that way a fuel level gauge is not needed, and I can monitor them precious MPGs.
The analog pieces are not happening. There was a digital piece I saw on eBay, 2 different face colors and I saw a odometer. Didn't look like there was a reset though.

Ive got a speedhut. Its a analog but its really tightly packaged. Nit a deep gauge atall. Its pretty sweet. 0-60 timer and feet to get there, 1/4 mile, odometer, 2 trips, 60-0 braking and feet, max speed, and a clock. Its awesome honestly. Here is a video of a run to 100 mph...

Mine would look better but I am not planning on keeping this dash so I quickly threw it in before leaving the track. I figured speedhut is a good company and their stuff wont let me down. I dont use all of the features but they were cool to play with. It picks up signal fairly quickly too, it has signal before my truck is warmed up enough to move. My only negative for the gauge is sometimes the button doesnt respond when I push it, like I need to push it twice sometimes and thats odd. Could be me not hitting the button hard enough or alittle crooked so it doesnt depress the switch. Good luck on finding one tho, there are plenty to choose from it seems

It may not be an option for you but I'm using an old no service samsung infuse smart phone as a gps speedo. I don't know how accurate it is but the app I'm using has an odometer. The speed function is accurate enough to keep from getting a ticket

Do a google search on "digital GPS speedometer". You get some pretty interesting results. Not much for cars. But there are some interesting parts for motorcycles and boats.

But, like you, I couldn't find anything that had a trip meter.
Dakota Digital makes about the best digital automotive gauges on the market. That's pretty much all they do. But none of their digital speedometer are GPS. Most are electronic, and require a signal from a sender mounted in the trans - just like stock.
But, they do make a GPS interface box that will work with just about any electronic speedometer. Not cheap, but would give you exactly what you're looking for.

Autometer makes something similar. http://www.ampcustomshop.com/gear/220/9197/

In this day and age of cheap universal computing there's really no need to resort to buying dedicated digital hardware
