Incorrect. Even the largest pickups will only burn an extra 15 seconds of gas when you shut off and start up. Smaller cars even less. More than 5-10 seconds. I would be more worried about burning up the spark plugs and otherwise wearing out your starter though
You do not burn more gas starting back up - unless you are driving a '74 gremlin. The computer knows it's a hot start and fuels only as required going right into closed loop control. If you use a PPH60 partial plug in hybrid controller, you don't have to worry about running the battery down either.
Scangauge is not accurate at all. It uses the MAP sensor data to guestimate the real time mpg information. It drifts all over the place. You constantly have to re-calibrate it.
Not true at all. You calibrate it one time after your first fill up, you compare the amount of fuel the scangauge thinks you burned with what you actually had to put back in to top off. Once you do that, it's spot on.
lol nice ringtone

starting and stopping your engine wears it out faster. starting causes more wear then running it.

Apparently some cars provide MAF and MAP data, some only MAP data (or did I get this backwards).
Point is that not all cars will provide the same results.
I've seen people describe how their scangauge was "wildly inaccurate", especially when changing the city/hwy mix.
