What is your order #?

I know scangauge was waiting for some parts to come from manufacturing for a few days, but I believe they have caught up on all orders.

I think the benefit when it comes to mileage is that the thing shows you where you are screwing up.
The xgauge stuff is really nice too, like transmission temperature and mass air flow.
Just a really nice tool for not too much money.

good to hear, i figured having a tach, an accurate spedo, miles to go and mpg along would make this thing worth it.

It was wating for me when I got home I had to change my daughters oil first and then I set it up for RPM, Water temp and Trans fluid temp. The Xguage setup is very simple! I will play with it a little more this weekend. I have 3/4 tank so It will be a while before i set up the MPG. A+ toy

I love mine, been seeing a big increase in MPG since i started monitoring the scangauge. It is amazing what backing off the throttle just a little will do, or what coasting down the hill will do. I have completely changed my driving habbits and my wallet thanks me.

Mine was pretty far off on the first fillup, but that doesn't really matter as far as getting good fuel efficiency. It's really about comparing results when you get careless with your habits and when you do it right.
They suggest running the tank from full down to 1/4 before adjusting it, but I never get that low. The first run I used 12 gallons and filled. The scangauge computed only 11 gallons used, so I adjusted. But like I say, the accuracy on MPG is not important to me. The comparisons are the real meat in there. You might get a little dizzy learning that MPG on one route is better than another with the AC off, but with it running the other route works better. But two things are constant. Getting off the gas early before stops gives you a tremendous boost. Accelerating at just the right speed is the other because too slow hurts by keeping you in lower gears too long. Too fast just dumps a bunch of fuel.
You will enjoy that thing. It's like taking a test every time you drive, but they don't hold you back a year when you fail. You just lose money.

Sorry for the delay

I bought my truck on April 2, so it is pretty new. But I worked from the beginning to reduce fuel use, and I was getting about 18.5 locally to and from work after about 600 or 700 mile break-in. With the scangauge I got it up well over 19. Went on the highway for the first time this weekend. Started with about 2700 miles on the truck. I had more fun with this thing than you can imagine. And I learned stuff I would never have guessed. I thought you needed to be too close to a semi to get a draft, but I learned the best spot is back where you can actually see his mirrors, a pretty safe distance, rocks not withstanding. I also learned when no cars are around me, 63MPH works best. But drafting a semi at 70MPH will get the same results on fuel. On a 320 mile trip with about 30 or 40 miles of it city driving in Lafayette, Baton Rouge and Slidell Louisiana I got 24.7 MPG. From Baton Rouge to Slidell with 15 city I got over 26 by drafting a semi at 63MPH for 40 miles and a big camper going 60 for 30 miles, 20 miles with no help. I never dreamed a truck with V8 could do that. If there is a money saving toy more fun than a scangauge, I gotta see it. I just hope I don't get myself killed watching the thing.

Try turning off the ac for a minute! I was crusing at 65 on the higway. The scanguage was reporting 18.5 mpg. I turned off the ac for a minute and the mpg went up to 21. Vely interesting!!!

I didn't know this was still going on. I would have saved 10$ buying it from you. How much longer are you guy's offering this deal?
