Instrumentation :

1- I have added a rev counter from a C1. The SG2 RPM reading is accurate but a proper dial is easier to read - it looks like this (this is not mine but the colours are identical - I need to get a black surround for it at some point).



Finding a usable position for the SG is becoming a challenge, more later.

2 - SG2. I'm getting some odd figures. If I coast in gear downhill I get a reading in the 100-500 MPG range almost like I got in the TDI when out of gear. I would expect 9999, no ? Also when out of gear I get 9999. It is set up as Gas and 1 litre, but still on its first tank.

Did I need to set it back to factory settings first ? I just changed the engine type and size instead.

Slightly seperate :

3 - AC kills performance. I tried it as a test on the motorway (bypass) yesterday and had to push the pedal down a lot to maintain speed. I'll reserve it for times I'm coasting or going downhill. The white body seems to keep temps down during our usual 2 day summer, and the interior is so small it only needs a short burst even with a 'hot blooded' person like me - Mrs A likes I am always warm

Prius Instrumentation :

4 - Is it possible to have the energy monitor and average MPG on the display at the same time ?

And George passed 50 miles in my ownership this morning, did I mention I do very few miles ?
