Aha, see I didn't know that, I figured it would detect it automatically. Currently, my instantaneous MPG drops quite suddenly when shifting from neutral, to in-gear, even if my RPM's are around 3k.

I will research it; I will say that in my pre-Ultragauge days, I noticed a distinct jump from the engine when slowing in-gear and my RPM's dropped below around 1500. I assumed at that time I was experiencing DFCO, and later assumed my car was not doing it because of the Ultragauge's apparent lack of DFCO recognition.

Hm, learn something new every day, eh?
