I receive a Scan Gauge II in the mail and go about setting it up in my truck.

  • I plan to mount mine on the steering column, just before the hazard switch...

  • That works and I could do that too, but then I'd have a hard time filming the thing in action and recording results.

    At least it comes with four velcro strips so you can have a variety of locations/cars to put it in.

  • Ok, you beat me to this one. ;-)

    Its on my "wish list" of things to acquire.

    Way Kewl!

  • it wasn't cheap, that's for sure. Don't bother with the extended cable, you can use a straight through RJ-45 cable with a connector instead.

    I could make one for that matter, I just need some gumption to do it. Sounds like yet another project I don't have time for.

    There's nothing like coasting down a hill in neutral and hitting 100+MPG for a few seconds though. Of course watching it hit single digits going up a hill is pretty disappointing too.

  • how much was this

  • I got a ScanGauge recently. It's true what people say -- seeing your MPG live dramatically affect your driving.

    I have a Honda CRV and my normal driving style gets about 24MPG. After getting this thing, I tweaked my driving on my way to work to get 26MPG. Later that night, I tweaked it even more to get 28MPG. I'm trying to aim for 30MPG.

    One thing no one told me -- doing this was actually pretty fun. Being forced to fine tune my driving also forced me to become hyper-aware of the road.

  • good things

    but unrationally expensive.

  • buy another scangauge2 then take a rj45 cable and link them together to see 8 gauges,,,,,you can link as many as you need to see all the gauges on the scangauge at one time,,,,,,,if you call them they will sale a cable to link them 2gether,,,,

  • You should get a blend mount for the scan gauge. Can go above or below the rear view mirror.

  • mount it right above steering wheel behind it

  • Takes info from your ECU so it more monitors what the computer is telling your car to do.

  • does it let you correct for different tire sizes

  • shittiest place to put it

  • Does it stay accurate after you baught say intake and other mods to the engine or do you have to reprogram it again?
