Xhifer · 07-23-2012, 09:51 PM

Hi, I have been using the Scangauge II on my 2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.

I set everything up correctly. (ie. 5.7 Liter engine / 16 Gallon gas tank)

Last fill up I did about 200 Miles and filled up. The scangauge says I'm getting 28 MPG with about 80% freeway. but when I filled up at the same pump it was 23 MPG...

I did a 320 Mile trip today and it showed that I was getting an average of 31MPG but when I filled up at the same exact pump it calculated to 26.5MPG.

I am not hypermiling or anything, I'm just driving normal and a few WOTs

Is Scangauge always a little off? How do I calibrate it to be spot on or at least near.

Thanks
