ScanGauge II came in today. Put in Escape. Went playing. Managed not to run into or get run into by anybody else. Lesson #1: I've been going up hills too slowly. 30-35 mph leaves the engine lugging and too high a percentage of power being used to change altitude. 35-40 was more efficient. So much for speed limits on streets.

An awful lot of readings were running high 20s and 30s mpg. I need to find out where those wonderful numbers go when I calculate a tank's mileage.

Next it goes on Caravan to read malfunction codes. Everybody else pays for their SG II with gas savings. I'm going to pay for it with good old fashioned shade tree mechanicing (Really. Under a shade tree. Ya' can't get anything in my garage.)
