Well for one thing, you are beating the hell out of the (US) EPA, which is 26MPG city, 34MPG highway, 29MPG combined. The Canadian mods might improve that by a mile, but not much more. Converting those Canadian estimates to MPG gave me 32MPG city, 43.5MPG highway...even larger than the "Old" (US) EPA rating for the 2006 and 2007 Civics, which were 30/40 for AT and 30/38 for MT. I think if you really started driving like everyone else in Ottawa, you fuel usage would increase a lot. If you think what you're doing isn't working, try it for a tank.
As for the utility of a ScanGauge, again bearing in mind I myself do not have a scan device (though also that I plan on getting one in the future), I think there would be uses. Instead of spending a whole tank driving like everyone else in Ottawa, you could just do it for several miles and see the difference. You could also use it to tell if you are in that "fuel-efficient mode" (needs a name) by monitoring MAP. Plus just being able to see what works and what doesn't as you do it removes the ambiguity of only getting information every fillup.
And I guess I did take some benefit from the inflated dollar...sorry Honda screwed you like that!
