are you guys using the velcro?
That stuff won't fly here in AZ, the sticky stuff just melts and makes a mess. |

My ScanGauge came today, and I'm trying to figure out a clean OEM look. I plan on getting a Nakamichi CD400 single din unit with a Metra dash kit. I'm curious to see if anyone was able to put the scan gauge in there in the pocket.
BTW, I finally got 41mpg today, before I got my scan gauge. I hope that it will help me get to my goal of 45! |

OK I tried it and after 2 weeks I looked at it today and found the velcro is sliding down the steering column as the glue melts in the heat. I'll have to find another way to mount it. |

MPG
Has anyone done any realtime milage checks at different speeds...say 50-55-60-65-70-75? I realize everycar would be different, but figures like this on a calm day on a straight level road would give an indication where milage drops off....for some of us that can't quite shell out the money for one right now.
Thanks in advance if anyone would take on the challenge!

Depending on temperature, road conditions, etc. our most efficient speed is in 5th gear/OD somewhere between 35 and 45 MPH.
For highway speeds 51-55 MPH is the most efficient, with a large drop-off between 55 and 65 and a punishing drop-off above 65.

Bailout,I must disagree,I can still pull 41-43mpg at 70-75mph,and 52.5mpg at 53-58mph,cruising when possible,from 58-53mph,not letting speed drop below 53.I do have an opened intake and exhaust,so this does help,but either way,there is only a 20% diffrencen from say 55-75mph,not such a huge drop off,actuallly pretty proportional, relative to your speed.

eco,
Most folks would call a 20% difference in fuel efficiency a huge drop-off.

Scanguage II
I was going to order mine from a form vendor, but they are no longer valid. So, could someone point me to a reliable stocking vendor with good pricing, please!
BTW, If I read correctly you will be able to interface the Scanguage with your PC in the near future? |

blacksan,
Here is a link to the vendor we use at CleanMPG.com: http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-2168984...w.cleanmpg.com Don't hold your breath on hooking it to a computer anytime soon. That functionality has been promised for a while and will actually be much easier to implement on Linux and Mac first.

Doh - it is supposed to land at Think Geek but something is wrong with the final URL. Here's a direct link:
