I've personally been referring family & friends to Linear Logic for over four years now. Enthusiastically.

Who knows how many ScanGauges I've sold indirectly through word of mouth, MetroMPG.com and then EM.

Ben had the bright idea that maybe it was time to support the forum by offering them directly to EM members & the general public. Seemed like it was worth a shot.

Wooohoo!

Yeah, they used to be $150 everywhere, now they're all $160 or more.

Just for giggles:

I was always a bit... perturbed ... by this image of the SG in action on the Linear Logic web site:

Photoshop to the rescue! For the version of the image on EcoModder's ScanGauge info page: :)

...the two pictures should be labelled:

(bottom) After Ecomodder!

I came to this thread for the very reason of commenting on that image. Much better!

Those numbers are pretty close to what my car would read at that speed. :D

Someone asked via PM:

Sure, we asked already and the official word from Linear Logic is no imminent "SG3":

Anyone ? Is there a scangauge available for Ford Focus Diesel 2003

Is that a Euro model? If it has the same plug as the US models I believe the SGII will work.

As a rule of thumb:

* GM cars and light trucks use SAE J1850 VPW (Variable Pulse Width Modulation).
* Chrysler products and all European and most Asian imports use ISO 9141 circuitry.
* Fords use SAE J1850 PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) communication patterns.

J1850 PWM--The connector should have metallic contacts in pins 2, 4, 5, 10, and 16.

Gotta get my hands on this. I'm just not sure if i'm going to do the obduino or buy this ready made one.

Do these Scangauges have the X-Gauge built in?

...yes, but I've never attempted to use anything but the 'stock' displays.

They do indeed

I am very impressed with mine! even tho I do not have a car new enough to use it I have used it a number of times already while going used car shopping with friends to check the check engine light and gas mileage of the car they were looking at, while barrowing other peoples vehicles and to check for problems on friends cars, so it's been worth it so far.

any big difference from the original scangauge?... anyone know the differences?

The size, the SG1 is pretty large. Here is a full description of differences:

Scan Gauge I compared to ScanGauge II

that thing is a monster lol

Looks like it was designed in the 80s, too

It may have been designed to fit a standard case, which are typically bigger than absolutely necessary for a specific project.

ScanGauge birthday party!
 

Sign me up for another one, in the ecomodder birthday giveaway. I have one, that stays in my wife's car. I could use another for my vehicle too!! Just about the best tool to quickly check most basic things while you're driving, and keep you up on coasting, try to get a better TFE. Dale

Just ordered mine. The December sale price is great! Anyone who's been holding out now's the time. Cheapest you'll find them new by far.

I got mine a week ago. The price was phenominal!

I got mine yesterday. Thanks Darin & Ecomodder

You're welcome. Enjoy! You'll have fun with it.

Finally decided to order one.

Cars been paid off for a few months now, and there's just no excuse not to get started making my car more fuel efficient. Plus today on my way to work, I started wondering if there is a more ideal MPH I could be going, fuel-wise. I know 60mph is better than 80mph, at least for trips in the mountains, but that's a given.

Also, my MPH gauge is apparently way off, like around 5 mph shy of what speed I'm actually going, according to those radars you see here and there that advertise your speed. Having an accurate MPH gauge is also a nice bonus.

It's sort of like having a weight scale at home. I lost 40 lbs (not just for fuel efficiency) since last summer, and what helped keep me going is checking my weight daily and seeing it gradually go down. This gauge works the same away, albeit, a bit more expensively up front.

I just ordered the UG for my GF b-day. ( she is almost a w*fe because we have lived in the same house for 5 years.) here's the funny part.... she lost her job, going back to school, and so money is tight around here. Her school and home is about 70 miles round trip and she drives an 06 charger R/T (5.7 v8) I refuse to let her drive anymore because she starts to break about 10 feet before stops signs then almost floors it after. It gives me a hart attack. I am praying this will help her save money thus put money back into her schooling.

Side note. any one know of any scholarships that are not well known?

Hi Metro
Any idea about the Scan gauge II could fit into my car. I miss the instant mpg in my OBD panel
Its Maruti Suzuki Ritz Ldi, Euro IV, Disel, 1.348 Fiat Multijet engine (Popularly known as Suzuki splash)

Hi sayantan -

Sorry, I'm not sure if your car's computer is "OBD-II" compatible. Is there a forum for your particular car model? That might be one place to find out... or ask at the dealership.

Are these still for sale for $149?

Yes.

See: ScanGauge MPG gauge: improve your fuel economy - EcoModder.com

How do you get tracking info? I ordered mine 2 days ago and just got a email reciept for the payment.

Hi - you should have the tracking info now.

Is there an obd1 option? I have a 1995 honda civic cx

Your only option is something like the MPGguino.
