The absolute best device for trying to optimize MPG is the MPGuino though. It's a 4 wire hook up, not plug and play.

Constant 12v+, ground, one injector and one speed sensor.

If this interests you I can send you a link to the pre assembled one I purchased online. The only real down side is you must make your own enclosure for it.

Once installed there will be a couple tanks of dialing it in to be accurate for your car but even when it's not totally dialed in the refresh rate and sensitivity of it cannot be beat by the Scangauge or Ultragauge.

The SG and UG are fairly slow on our cars due to the communication protocol our cars use unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, either one is better than nothing by a long shot.


Here's some youtube videos of them in action.
