Congrats.

Re: the ScanGauge - do you have a kill switch in there yet, or are you still using the key? (My Firefly/Metro's OBD-II protocol caused a big pause in data acquisition by the SG every time it rebooted when stopping the engine with the key; the kill switch fixed that problem.)

Do you have the SG "Fuel Type" setting on Hybrid? (You should - it prevents the unit from immediately going to sleep when the engine stops.)
