Scangauge reading "LOD" grossly incorrect?

Hey everyone! Been a while ;P
I recently got a 2012 Focus SEL with a 2.0L 4 cyl.
I moved my scangauge II from my (now totalled) kia into the new car, after performing a reset on the SGII. My normal gauge set up is AVG, MPG, LOD and water temp (sometimes switch temp out with others depending what info I want)
Long story short, my SGII is reading load wildly incorrect in the Focus, sometimes near 80% load at IDLE!
Every other gauge seems to work perfectly fine, in the mean time I've swapped LOD for TPS, but of course they're nowhere near the same
I've tried wiping it out again, tried different ECU protocols (currently on CANSF, the only one that will read the focus, unfortunately) tried leaving it out for a day (lol who knows I've seen weirder things happen)

I'm at a loss here, anyone have any ideas?
Its really getting to me as with DWL in the Kia that was rated 30 on the highway I was seeing tanks ~40mpg... the Focus is rated 38 hwy and I'm getting... 30 -.- haha
