Or Acetone.......I get about 17.1 or so.
I get 12 to 13 MPG now..... YEAH!!!!!![]()
ScanGaugeII - I got one last week!
I can see the difference right away, so It reminds me to lift my foot a little and I get better MPG's without changing much else (Although I'm not convinced/shure that I'm actually doing as good as it says sometimes). I just ran 900+ miles this 4 day weekend and got 18.3MPG average (the traditional method of calculating), but the scangauge said I got 20MPG.
I've normally run in the 15.7 range (shorter runs of course, so not apples to apples, but I am getting better milage on the shorter runs as well - If I behave myself).
If you don't first THINK THINK, you could end up in deep DO DO!
yea the scangauge is an awesome tool
i highly recommend reading your manual to program your scangauge to get the most use out of it
things ive done with mine is program it to give me a gauge readout of how much gas is left in the tank.. (parameter in the trip computer for tank and gal. to empty) i have that displayed along with horsepower, water temp and voltage as my main gauges, by filling up completely each time and telling the scangauge this every time, my digital fuel gauge is always within .1 gallons of being accurate.. ive been able to run down to 1.0 gallons left with confidence because of it
Eric,
I keep telling my foot that but it just don't listen. Even with the heavy foot, it still took me 2 hrs to get to work this morning. Good thing I commute in the Eclipse, the VX would take a full tank each way.
BTW - the rules that help us all on gas helps the hybrids even more - slow starts, lower speeds, gentle braking.

Put a smiley after you say that Bub.
"overage fees"!
overage fees or over age fees???
What is the deal with Acetone?
How do you use it and where to buy?
Driving Style for sure!!
I bought a scan gauge IMMEDIATELY after buying the VX to monitor what did what exactly for MPGs
I average over 18, and I'm mostly city driving. I got 385 last tank and the Scangauge estimated I could go another 20 miles.
That's on stock wheels, with stock tires.
Things are going to change this tank of gas
But I only have a 3 mile commute to work, and generally ride my Vespa, or Bike.
Please do resurrect the acetone thread.
