I have to say that I was reading the FE according to the on-board fuel economy meter. I have to see if it reads too high on a trip.

*Edit: There is no on-board fuel economy meter in this van. I typed "Fuel economy meter" But meant Odometer.*

If it does, At least realizing that will help me realize actual MPG increases if I see them. I do think we got 24 MPG in the van in a tank, But I don't live in Pittsburgh; Most of the driving is not stop-and-go though there's some of that. It is hilly around here, Though.

Also, As of 2013-09-13 the ScanGauge II was reading wonky; 2.3 or 2.6 MPG, Over 4,000 or so miles traveled, (Letter)(Three-digit-number) RPM, Etc.
