I have a 2009 Prius. The stock gauge is ok but doesn't show other things I'd like to know. So I bought the new Scangauge III with touch screen and it just arrived in the mail this morning. At first the screen would turn off when the Prius went into EV mode. I called customer care and they said to select "hybrid" from the fuel menu. I had it selected to "gas" and needed to scroll down to see hybrid. Anyway customer service was very helpful and the unit works great. The included mount also works well. The display is customizable with different gauge layouts and it is bright and easy to see. They made a really nice device. It's a bit pricey at $250 but it's worth it to me. Years ago I used a OBD II wifi dongle and the OBD fusion app for a smart phone. I don't use a smart phone anymore and having a dedicated Scangauge I can use with a touch screen is great.
I considered that one but the $250 price tag was a deterrent. Would you say the features are worth the additional $100. This is my first scangauge, I'm used to the ultragauge which had 6 gauges on screen at all times. I had instant MPG, average MPG, GPH, time till empty, GTE.

I've noticed that on the scangauge I'm limited to instant MPG, average MPG for that trip, GPH, and right now I have voltage on.

Is there anyway to have Instant MPG, Trip Average MPG, and the tank average.
