I don't know the specific temperature ranges.
This is where my needle is on a 32°F day with the heater on.
It sits a little lower when it's 10°F or below

As you know that doesn't mean much, The thermostats relative position from day to day is most important, if its lower on cold days you are likely running cold.
Also I think you need an altitude adjustment, the MPGguino is just a tool. Just as you don't drive around with a wrench holding your hood up or a oil pail stuck under the motor you also don't need to have the MPGguino continously mounted, you use it to learn and then put it away when not learning, it does afterall REMOVE in under a minute and is easily stowed anywhere you like. And obviously like a hammer you can use it to do many things or choose not to use it at all if you are ashamed of having it show.
Also you can build a nice purdy case for it if thats your flavor and the guino can come fully assembled ready to go as well.
All this said, I use a scanguage on mine continously and the way I have it mounted isn't pretty but practical since I move it between multple cars. Its up to you how professional the mounting and location is or set it up so it can be removed easily.
If you do find yourself buying a scanguage, remember, get it on ebay or from JCWhitney using one of their 20% off orders over $100 with free shipping. Don't pay too much and remember a scanguage 1 does most everything the 2 will do at a much better price
