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?
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.

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.
