[Rockstock]

I should start by asking how accurate is a scan gauge on on very short distances? (under 1 mile)

My theory is that the faster you can get to 40 (desired speed to maintain) the sooner you will be in the optimal gear for cruising most efficiently. This only works out if you can maintain the cruising speed for at least 1/4 mile.

I know it sounds backwards, I always assumed you should accelerate as slow as possible, but the readings I've been getting from the scan gauge are saying otherwise. Scan gauges don't lie, or do they?
