    Took me a min to find the scangauge.

    Is the scan gauge accurate? I mean yeah you are gonna get good mpg at those speeds as you are just into 5th gear lockup.

    Are you serious or are you joking, the 20mpg on the scan gaugeII is my real-time calculated fuel consumption per trip based off my OBD system. if your implying i should be distracted by the pretty lady she isn't visible when i have my phone plugged in and have android auto running on the radio :thumbsup:

    I've double checked the scan gauge a couple of times and it's in the ballpark.
