I really love the ScanGauge, it is a fantastic tool that every fuel efficiency minded should buy (or UltraGauge, MPGuino, SuperMID, etc...).

This morning was the fist time I drived the Mazda with one, and I really liked the experience, I got an AVG of 5.5 LHK (42.7 MPG).

On the return trip, I got an AVG of 5.2 LHK (45.2 MPG)! On the highway I was getting between 3.2 and 4.3 LHK at ~60-70 KPH. I did a lot of DWL on the highway. In town, I had to P&G like I never did to maintain the 5.2 score. I had even been able to lower it to 5.1, but because of the bad road conditions (A.K.A snow), it returned to 5.2. Anyway, very pleased with those new numbers! Planning to do less than 5 LHK!

About the coolant temp, I checked today with the SG to get the good grille block hole size. When I was 100% grilled, and I had only the OEM heat gauge, I could not see what temp it was. With the SG, c°WT showed a max of 101°C but the fan never kicked on! that's not good, so I removed ~20% of the upper grill block (blocked mazda tag). We will see tomorrow if it is properly grilled.
