That's how I have it today. I recently started using the GPH gauge.

*Note - IGn/LOD meaning that I might have it at one or the other.
I've used other gauge combinations now (On the right, Keeping what was on the left) and cycled through some gauges at red lights and other points of a trip to see how the van worked and one gauge reacted in relation to another. I recommend doing this, To learn.

For example, I learned that the IGN went way down and hovered between 9-14 when stopped in neutral at a red light but the MAP went down a bit too along with GPH (Though it was comparably the same in drive some times) and HPR also did go down when I tried it.

Also, I started using TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) Lately which has been helpful. In the van it is set to 16 when I'm not holding it down; I'm not sure what it would be held down all the way.
