Thanked 7 Times in 1 Post
I'm in love!!!!!!

AKA I finally bought a Scangauge2!
WOW the people who say don't worry about the price just buy it are sooo right!
I was getting around 35-38 average per tank with careful driving and almost no aeromods. My trip back from work and Lowe's I averaged 49.5 mpg over 50 miles! (its not calibrated yet)
So far I've learned my car is less speed more load oriented with FE, it overcools slightly, it does awesome with P&G and needs a kill switch!
Just thought I'd post this!

~Another happy SG2 user!

you will soon find that it's free and paying you after you save all the fuel/money you didn't know was wasted.
price is what killed my needs to gauge or not to gauge. I went with the Ultragauge and haven't turned back.

Instrumentation is definitely one of the most important mods.

My two fuel injectors operate completely independently of each other. It's a really stupid system. My options are a MPFI swap or use just one of my injectors and switch to MegaSquirt. I could also unplug one injector to use MPGuino, but then I get drivability issues and a CEL.

Could you run both of your injectors with the signal to one (splice to run in parallel) or does it use just one injector at low load and both for high?
