Range meter
anyone know of a meter that tells how many miles/KM the car can run before gas runs out?
thanks |

My YarGauge is the only thing that I know of that currently does it for the Yaris. I read the fuel level PID (which I charted to figure out the volume of gas relative to the value read) from the combination meter's ECU and multiply by the inverse of the current MPG to determine the range.

Yes. I guess my point is that the range piece requires a bit more OEM integration than the economy meters have.

Scangauge II's have a somewhat decent estimate too, as long as you enter your fillups accurately, and take the results with a large margin of error!
