FINALLY (as of Christmas day) the proud owner for a ScanGauge II!

That's were I leave mine. Just pop open the drivers glove box while crusing when wanna have a peak. Leaving it up when wanna actively watch it dont bother me. And i like that i dont need to Permanently mount it anywhere inside (so great to have that glove box there!!)

[pennystocks]

LOCATION : 40 miles north of chicago
SEDAN/LIFTBACK : sedan
MANUAL/AUTOMATIC Trans : auto
A/C used much? only when hot
EXTRA WEIGHT: really just me
CITY/HIGHWAY RATIO: 90% city

With the AC on when driving around town delivering i get about 28
Normal city for me is about 30-33
Driving like a grandma is about 35-38 city
Normal driving off work is about 40
Highway is 45-50

Some old stuff from about 2000 miles or so

46.8 - Avg miles per gallon
9.2 - miles drove
3004 - RPM max
55 - MPH max
37 MPH average (real average was 40-55 not counting stop lights)

Thats w/ like 3 full stop/starts at lights, and about 6 or so slow downs to like 20 mph (turns and wat not)

Did this one when i first got it today, just a quick test:

3.3 Mile drive
2228 Max RPM - Was Grandma'in it
37 MPH Max
24 MPH Avg - Was really 33 ish w/ the cruse on, but got caught a light, and amazingly enough, got caught at a turtle crossing the street LMAO
0.1 Gal. Fuel Used
190 Degrees F Max
53.1 MPG AVG oh yea, i love it

Latest one, all highway, no slow downs at all except one toll booth:

30.9 miles drove
3400 max RPM
61 MPH avg
51.2 MPG avg

I mounted it to the vent using zip ties later on but here are my first pics.

My only problem with it is that you cant have instant MPG and average MPG in the display at the same time. I emailed em and they said they might do this in the future. You can also hook it up to your computer, they said they're doing that later on so hopfully you can upgrade it with a laptop




Upclose:



MPG, RPM, MPH, TPS (Throttle)


fWT (water temp), fIA (air intake temp), VLT (volts duh), GPH (gallons per hour)


IGN (timing), CLSD LP (closed/open loop), LOD (engine load), MAP (manifold pressure)

Got my Scangauge last night! :-)

And, my last tank came in at 37.5. My best so far. Maybe the temps in the high 90s we'd been having torpedoed my mileage. (I was seeing low 30s for awhile)

ketelOne:

With your 15 wheels, did you find the default speed/miles reading on the SG was dead on? I checked miles for a 5 mile stretch against mile markers on freeway this morning, and it was right on! So, I guess that means I can believe it's speed readouts without adjustment.

Paul

P.S. I'm also interested in how others have routed the cable. So far mine's in the drivers glovebox, with cable trailing down the front. Not a great long term arrangement.

Congrats on your tank, higher air temp should produce higher mpg, but you will use your AC more.

Yep speed and miles dead on.

My cable is the same way at least for the time being.

MY Cable is also trailing down along the left side of Steering Column..not exactly pretty right now but i've got it "taut" enough that i never even touch it with my knee. It looks like it will BE REALLY EASY to run the cable behind the plastic dash and drill a hole directly into the driver's glove compartment (<--only on a Yaris..driver's GC...hehe). If i can find another Driver's GC Cover, I will cut it so that my Tachometer and Scangauge fit flush into it, and PROPERLY run the cables so that the Driver's GC is still accessible and useable for storage.

I know nothing about this equipment...does it compile previous data stored then from when the vehicle first left production?

It is mostly a real time guage for:
Fuel Economy
» Fuel Rate
» Battery Voltage
» Coolant Temperature
» Intake Air Temperature
» Engine Speed (RPM)
» Vehicle speed (MPH)
» Manifold Pressure
(not available on some vehicles)
» Engine Load
» Throttle Position
» Ignition Timing
» Open/Closed Loop

and a trip computer for:
» Maximum Speed
» Average Speed
» Maximum Coolant Temperature
» Maximum RPM
» Driving Time
» Driving Distance
» Fuel Used
» Trip Fuel Economy
» Distance to Empty
» Time to Empty
» Fuel to Empty

and finally a scan code reader:
» Reads Trouble Codes
» Reads conditions that set the Trouble Code
» Clears Trouble Codes
» Turns off "Check Engine" light

» Tells you when vehicle is "Ready" to pass OBDII testing
» Make and store up to 10 rewritable special codes
to send to the vehicle computer

How are you guys installing these? How come I don't see any wires in any of the installs. Is everyone cutting holes in the area behind the Scangauge?

[gonzo452001]

Mine is on the steering column also. I ran the wire behind the gauge on top of the column easy to get it thu the crack between the dash and steering column you just push it thu from under the dash couldn't be easyer could be wrote better I am sure

Most likely, that's what I'll do too. I wonder how everyone else that didn't mount it on the steering wheel column did it. I saw a pic of one on the forums mounted right in front of the speedometer, and couldn't see any wires.

Can't wait to get mine in a few days.

How much this thing cost?

Got my ScanGuage2 finally. Here's my set up. I just stuck the wire under the steering wheel column.

[gonzo452001]

You didn't have to come out on the outside like that cable is plenty long enough to keep it on the inside and still plug it in

Got it done... thanks... I didn't realize that panel underneath the steering column detaches so easily.

I just hit 47.2 the other day,try and beat that,I still had half a tank left.
I can get 40mpg with moderate accelaration,and 70-75mph on the road.
