Re: Scan Guage II Reply #1 – June 24, 2009, 09:17:02 pm Yahoo Message Number: 103520Quote Does it provide instantaneous miles per gallon read out Yes. My favorite is when I see I'm getting 40 mpg. Of course that's downhill with a tail wind. Regrettably that's offset by the 2.5 mpg going up the same hill.and MPG from the last reset and/or fill up?YesAlso I would appreciate any comments about its qualityHad it for over a year. So far, so good.Ed

Sometimes it comes back on it's own and sometimes I have to recalibrate it. My favorite part is when the MPG goes to 9,999 (foot off the accelerator going down hill). That's when the fuel injectors shut down. Wish I could average that and still make headway.Steve S. Lazy Bones & Jiggs

Sure beats the dash gauge!Glen w/SOB & ScanGage II[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

However, FWIW, I chose to buy from Linear Logic rather than from Amazon (or another vendor) because of Linear Logic's reputation for very good customer service and after-sales product support. YMMV.Joan

Scan Gauge has one other major feature; the ability to read the Ford OBD-II Trouble Codes. Should the Check Engine light come on, the Scan Gauge can give you the trouble code. Then you can go here: http://www.obd-codes.com/trouble_codes/ford/and see what's up. Very handy in deciding what you should do next.Ed
