[QUOTE=Mifunego;156414]Robert /Puddleglum / luvit / the scangauge looks neat, but I already have the instant and average mpg display on the stock in-dash info display. I do enjoy watching the instant mileage number increase as I drive, especially coasting and watching it read up to 99.9 mpg What do you use your scangauge for? You're right in suggesting that the other realtime info could be amusing though. =QUOTE]

Having a stock mileage readout may make the SG a little redundant, but it will do more than read instant mileage. I use mine to monitor engine temp. since I run a grill block to help warm up and the factory guage isn't acurate enough. A cold engine is wasting fuel. Watching engine load is important and can be done through several different guages. Also, something Iv'e been thinking of doing, but haven't done yet is setting up a guage to watch fuel consumed. then I could accurately compare the fuel used to a given throttle position among other things. That might be helpful to you.
