It is adaptable to most vehicles (visit Scangauge's website to be sure yours is on the list). Same with intake air temperature. It also gives you the average time weighted average MPG. Surprisingly, the larger your engine the better you will do because you can take advantage of low rpm high torque situations. I used it on a Ford Taurus, A Mercury Grand Marquis, and a Dodge Caravan. Yes, it displays real time MPG data. This is a nifty little device that attaches to your vehicle's OBDII port under the dash. It will definitely teach you skills to improve your fuel economy.
It is a very useful gadget, and it is a shame we can't hook it up to a laptop to send the data to the state DOT to pass emissions inspection. It does not give the actual O2 sensor reading, only if the loop is closed or open. I suggest ScanGauge look into this, it would probably only take a software upgrade, I know the hardware is up to task. Coolant temperature, Ditto. Interestingly, it interfaces via an ethernet port. I got 29.1 MPG with my Grand Mark using it (Averaged over 65 miles in city, highway and country backroads passing Amish Buggies) Philadelphia to Lancaster, PA.
RPM, MPH,and TPS data- no problem. Manifold absolute pressure depends on the vehicle. I would have given it 5 stars but the materials it is made with are lightweight and I'm not sure if it will stand the test of time. I also suggest they encase it in shockproof rubber to protect it.
I purchased this to help with getting better fuel mileage. My first tank using the scanguage was 36mpg. It provides instant feedback on what does and does not help. My mileage before using the product was 28mpg. Going to work I can get as high is 42 and then 39 on the return trip. Based on my experience so far it will pay for itself in less than 18 months.
Easy to use.For the Geek, easy to customize. So you bought the car without the fancy gauges. Can't tell the temperature outside or your gas mileage. (or a zillion other things)Solution: try the ScanGauge.PS: driving an older car, it is great to push a few buttons while driving and have a check engine code cleared.
Just got my ScanGuage II this afternoon. I already think it's the best accessory I've bought for my smart car. It's a nice compact size, powered from the OBD2 port and has exactly the right gauges on each screen.Highly recommended for any car enthusiast.
I calibrated the speed with my GPS so now I don't have to worry about my inaccurate analog speedometer. The ScanGauge II is an absolutely necessary accessory for any car. I don't even watch the analog instruments on the dash any more (except for the fuel gauge) because the ScanGauge II presents all the necessary data in accurate digital form. I currently have the display set to show speed, MPG, fuel flow, and water temperature. It is a little bit pricey, but in my opinion it is worth it.
