Scanguage says 25mpg, but manual measurement says = 35mpg
If I measure from top of tank to top of tank, plug in the cost and the distance I travel I get 35mpg for my van.
However, if I plug in my scangauge i get 25mpg max... I never see it rise to 35... I have the wheel diameter set correctly and the same engine size (2,5 turbo...) |
You need to calibrate your Scan Guage. Next time you fill up you can enter the amount of gallons/liters used into the SGII to calibrate it.

I disagree: the Scangauge just isn't very good at measuring fuel consumption. I have one in my Insight, which also has the factory mpg gauge. The factory one is as close to accurate as I can measure, the Scangauge reading often differs by 20 mpg or more. That's when it's calibrated, and it loses calibration very easily.

Mine is consistently accurate within 1% once calibrated.

...my SGII, on my SIDI '09 Vibe, seems to run within ±2% fairly consistantly, and that's with the Toyota Spark-Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI), not normal MFI.

I would venture to guess that the SG is not as good at turbo engines. Here's a silly question but I have to ask it. Is the fuel set to US gallons or Imperial gallons? CarloSW2 |
US gallons

There are other cars besides the Insight that have some variety of lean burn tech: Lean burn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
