The bug deflector was removed. The ScanGauge has been calibrated a bit, The Speed setting was upped by 2% over stock settings so far but it may require even more to be accurate with the stock Trip meter. The ScanGauge speedometer must be fairly close with the trip Speedometer prior to adjusting the Tank settings, Right?

It also seems as if heavy-load low-gear acceleration pulse and gliding from 45 to 65 and back to the Drive gear doesn't work very well in this van or if it does there's not much of an improvement over other methods I've tried plus it maims my judgment of other drivers and when I should pull out from streets to roads (Which may cause tailgaters to be behind me) and other things; I'd also rather not damage the transmission too much.

EDIT, 2013-September-18: If I am to glide more I need more glide time. Also, Changing the Speed setting distorted the SG2's estimated Miles Traveled and the van's on-board Speedometer reads a bit high.
