just bought and received my scangauge from Amazon.com yesterday and the insta-mpg is so cool!! I still have to configure xgauge. And the connection
didn't realize how bad the mpg is when accelerating, from stop to about 30mph, mpg is from 5-17mpg!! accelerating mpg with a feather foot (literally) gives about 10-18 mpg.
i've noticed if I lightly pump the gas instead of constantly pressing the gas, the mpg fluctuates from 25-35mpg when my foot is pressing to 40+ when my foot is not pressing the pedal. And when my foot is constantly pressing the gas (normal mode), i would achieve 28-36mpg. I suppose this is one of those factors that might get me past my previous best; 36mpg.
also, (i think someone posted this note already) I noticed when at a stop light, the gallons per hour is around 0.30gph when in drive (automatic car), and around 0.25gph when in neutral. Is it okay to put it in neutral like this? I read in another thread about coasting in neutral might/is bad for an automatic car. Anyone wanna clarify this for me?
