Since fitting the ScanGauge E I have started to retrieve some interesting data. First thing I can confirm is that my fuel injection system does indeed have Deceleration Fuel Cut Off. I have also found that running temperature varies from a maximum of 84°C to 77°C, when the load is off.
Instantaneous fuel consumption is frighteningly poor when cold and in town. Brisk acceleration doesn’t help. On the open road, there is no appreciable difference between 40 or 50 mph, but I will reserve judgement until I get more motoring under my belt, using the ScanGauge.
I stuck the ScanGauge to the top of the steering binnacle. It obscures the odometer and current average fuel indicator, but as that is something I no longer need in line of sight, I can live with that. Adjusting the position of the steering wheel didn’t offer a better compromise.
