I use the one that estimates how much cash you're burning as you drive (my drive to work costs me about $1).. neat to use when you're joy riding to see how much money you're spending...

I also use the average fuel economy per trip. So this way, I can display my instant economy, as well as my cumulative economy as I'm driving.

OH! And I also created Distance to Empty (and set the tank to 8 gallons). This one has proven to be not as useful because I just ignore it when it hits 0 and follow the fuel gauge anyway... so that one may not stick around...

Hey MinnySmart-

I hope to see you at the first MN Smart MeetnGreet this weekend. Maybe you can show me that Xgauge command. I don't have it programmed in yet but would like to.....

Ahhh, OK. You are basically using information that is available elsewhere in the display, but have eliminated the button presses to navigate from the gauge screen to these other screens and back.
Avg MPG on the Gauges screen would be more useful to me than the TPS, ie.
Thanks....

Went to the site. Check your version #. Free upgrade if you bought the scangauge II before July 2007. You ship the scangauge II with a form back to Mesa, AZ.
