topic: yeah, it's worth it if you give it a chance but remember that it's not Holy Writ when it comes to accuracy. Nothing beats tank-to-tank/odometer calculations for tank mpgs.

Takes about 2 tanks to be "accurate" but the instantaneous feedback on fuel consumption is critical, especially if you use it to curb or alter your driving habits. As for xgauges, I prefer to have my TANK AVG MPG visible. The codes for them are either in the manual or on the linear logic website.

...and yes, I drive an xA. Before scanguage, my best mpg was 38. After scangauge, my best was 43 mpg.
