Well, the summer gas mileage season is over. I drove 3414.0 miles and burned 89.42 gallons, for total summer MPG of 38.2. That compares to the summer 2013 average of 36.0 MPG, and the summer 2012 average of 37.1 MPG.
Summer 2012 had warmer weather with more tailwinds, and summer 2013 had worse weather than summer 2014. I believe that the better feedback of the vacuum gauge, compared to the time delayed feedback of the ScanGauge, is worth at least 1.0 MPG and possibly slightly more.
