The scanguage will calculate FE on a diesel once calibrated so long as you drive one speed with one throttle position, deviate a little bit and the thing is WAY off.
I'd like to ask diesel vehicle owners what kind of instrumentation they're using, given this. My old 2007 Jetta currently has an UltraGauge and I'm a big fan. It would be a shame if I couldn't use it on my new 1999 F250.
