That's a good increase. I take it you do a lot of city driving? It may be beneficial to find alternative routes.

Also, If it hasn't been mentioned already make sure to calibrate your ScanGauge quite thoroughly or you may find it's not accurate. Compare the fuel you put in the tank and the miles your car odometer reads to what the ScanGauge says in terms of miles traveled, Gallons used, Etc. The speed it reads may be off at first compared to your speedometer and perhaps the speedometer is off by a bit.
