Calibrate it, then change the way you drive, and it'll be off.

I've been looking at getting either a Scangauge-E or ScangaugeII for a while now. One question I have is whether either (or both of them) will give me info other than MPG, like %load, timing, fan speed, etc.

On the bottom click on the "Digital Gauges" tab and you can see everything that the SG will display (assuming your engine has a sensor for it).
