...the "number ONE thing" to do if you really want to increase your fuel economy, is to KNOW what's happening (mpg-wise) as you're driving.
...and, the *best* tool for that is the ScanGauge II
...just being able to "see" what's happening (mpg-wise) as you drive and react to traffic, wind, hills, stop lights, etc. is going to TEACH you what to minimize (avoid) and what to maximize (light foot, coast, etc.). The car's gonna be the SAME, but *how* you drive it will definitely change!
...think of the SGII as an electronic version of the proverb: "...a picture is worth a 1,000 words..." where the SGII displays are *showing* you what WORKS as well as what HINDERS your mpg.
...for instance, are you aware that driving along side a semi-truck will "cut" your instantaneous mpg by -30 percent, ie: from 45-50'ish, down to 30-35'ish?
