Your ScanGuage will tell help you figure which routes cost you less, once you have them set up.

My mpg could be about 15% higher, if I didn't try to save gas. Ironic.

Yeah, I figured that out finally. I can go down smaller highways to the ladies house and hold a steady 55 with less slowing down and upsetting people driving faster. Not to mention when I'm in the mood I can go 50 mph with no problem.

I'm so excited to get this. Haha.
