Rango318: For years I have followed the common wisdom to drive like one has an egg under the foot. With the egg method, I found I was staying in the lower MPG areas of the Scangauge during acceleration. When I decided to kick things up and no longer use the egg method, I arrived at 4th gear sooner and my overall mileage average picked up a bit. I would estimate a mild to moderate increase in acceleration but still not a hard acceleration.
I have only had the Scanguage a few months and decided it was time to begin trying new things instead of more of the same. With an automatic one is limited to what they can do. I gave the increased acceleration a try and was pleased with the results. I first noticed the improvement when on my regular downhill run from a stoplight. I got to the higher numbers faster when going down hill and decided it might work on the flat land part of my drive as well.
