Question:

Excuse my ignorance, but does the HX have lean burn? If so, you may want to go with an MPGuino for instrumentation. The 'Guino actually monitors injector activity, where the SG calculates MPG based on air consumption, and that means it's not as accurate for a lean-burn engine.

We won't send your ScanGauge until Tues anyway, so will wait to hear back on what you want to do.
