Does it correctly report DFCO? If not it doesn't do it's primary function of accurately recording fuel usage IMO (not doing DFCO for diesels is stated in the literature IIRC). So I moved it to a petrol car, despite reading the manual and advice on here, there was no way to get it to work as a 'hybrid'. Took me a couple of weeks trying the various settings with no luck (and I'd hate to have to re do this every time I move from one car to another - which I do fairly often with SGII). With SGII I just select 'hybrid' and it works on every car. Of my cars, my UG only works on my Jeep (I haven't tried to get it to hybrid mode on the Jeep as there's little point - I haven't driven it yet this year in any case).

Do you EOC? Without getting the 'hybrid' set up correctly, UG shuts down and then misses half your pulse entirely. I could quite easily get 100mpg by just keeping UG in it's sleep mode. I know I'm not the only who's had this (except he eventually got his to work).

Just sharing my experience, remember that the laws of physics still apply to those of us upside-down. Totally go see Kasey, maybe ask her if she prefers SGII or UG

And for the record, I have UG, SGII, MPGuino and UTComp. I'm thinking of buying a second SGII, but would have no use for another UG.
