How'd you get dual OBII devices?

@nuclearthreat545 The scangauges can be daisy chained with just one of them connecting directly to the OBD-II port.

Put on your seat belts everyone, we're going Hypermiling!

@EcoAccelerometry true.....

haha!!!

[EcoAccelerometry]

@awesomeness2571 Indeed. But the benefits of driving slower come from less air resistance since as speed doubles, the air resistance quadruples. Using more electricity is also NOT the key to better fuel economy either. Using less gas is. After all, the Prius is still a gasoline car and one of the advantages it has over non-hybrid cars is that it CAN recover SOME energy (during braking) that others cannot. But still, that energy still costs fuel so use the least possible, NOT more.

@SuperRainbowVeins slower you drive, more electricity use and less gas

[SuperRainbowVeins]

So.. The slower you drive?

The BetteR? or it doesn't matter??

Also I didnt mention that i dont actually have a scanguage and maybe only the scanguage has the plug available from the factory to do this.

[nuclearthreat545]

Do you have any sort of info on how to do that? I really wanna do that in my truck but im not sure how to go about it? Maybe a video?

yes a HUD is standard in some countries
