Whoo-hoo! I didn't buy a Powerball ticket and I still win something. Which post was it?

I mean, I realize the forum is slower than normal with gas prices the way they are, but seriously? Nobody wants a free ScanGauge??

So I PM'd the winners just now, but in the future I think we'll add a little disclaimer along the lines of "prizes unclaimed within N days go back into the hat for a fresh draw."

Old Tele Man: thanks for that! I'll draw another name now.
Well, I'll be darned. I so rarely win things I didn't think to come back and check.

I've always wondered how the SG2 would compare to my Ultragauge on my Civic HX, and now I'll get the chance to find out.

Thanks and happy birthday to the forum!

Instead of a few expensive prizes, I suggest spreading the wealth with many smaller prizes; such as a box of wood screws. That way, just like the IRS, all of us can get screwed!

^ This being EcoModder, we would at least make it stainless sheetmetal screws.

We had another gracious winner ask that his prize be re-drawn for someone else. So cyclopathic's ScanGauge-E has gone back into the hat.

I'll post the new name very shortly.

new ScanGauge-E winner

Again using the True Random Number Generator at RANDOM.ORG - True Random Number Service ...

Congrats, Fumes: send me a PM with your snail mail details, and I'll pass it along to Linear Logic.

And thus concludes EcoModder's MOST DRAWN-OUT CONTEST EVER?

Hex, OBD-II tools cannot properly read fuel economy in lean burn. We discuss using bluetooth dongles, Android aps, and prepaid phones here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...0-a-30169.html

However, if you want accurate MPG information, you need an MPGuino - EcoModder.

Freebeard, I am afraid that I am far more prolific than profound. Sorry.

Got a surprise in the mail today, my ScanGauge II! Thanks EcoModder!

I'm reading through the manual and will try it out with the next time I fill up.
