Nice, but what about those of us who drive cars that were made before 1996? We have OBD I, but those engine computers don’t keep track of so many variables, so perhaps a vacuum gauge can be used?

Fear not, the validation step for the 130K Pilot is on the list of things to do. There are a number of variables, most importantly “how full is full?” We try to use the same pump, whenever possible.

Thanks for the demo. But, I’m wondering, how does the average MPG estimated by the ScanGauge compare with reality? What’s missing from your test is a validation step comparing how many gallons of gas you needed to refill your tank after your test.
Thanks,
Tim

The RPMs displayed seem to be pretty inconsistent with the gauge in the dash. I really like the throttle position indicator. I bet this would pay for itself pretty quickly.
