Thread: Scangauge or OBDII to USB

You should have splurged and got the DashDaq

But the scangauge is sweet. I'll probably be getting one soon myself

you OBDII guys get all the cool stuff..

Right there next to all the check engine lights.

Man DashDaq is pretty sweet, plus a GPS! But wayyy too expensive...



Covert to OBDII



Oh thats so true

Now now Serb... don't be mean.

Hey, I speak the truth, my G20 has a check engine light right now.

can it do air/fuel ratio? that would make it more awesome.

^^^ EWW good question. If it does I will oder it today!

Unfortunately no

But I did find something interesting out...

Redlining the car makes my car get 6-9 MPG at the redline.

Starting to go from a complete stop gets me about 4-5 MPG



So redlining the car is actually more gas efficient then stop and go traffic or lots of stop lights

So why does redlining eat more gas then? Well when you start moving from a complete stop, it stays at about 5mpg until you up shift, by the time your in 4-5th your getting about 25mpg...

With redline you stay at 8mpg for as long as you floor it....

Also I noticed how far you have your gas pedal down effects the MPG's more then what RPM range you are in.

So say I'm in 5ht gear at 2k RPM right now and I press the gas pedal down 2", i will get about 9MPG, Well if I'm in 4th gear at 4k rpm and I press the pedal down 1" I get about 12ish.

i remember some people doing a test a few years back to see which style of driving gets the best mpg.
winner was WOT shifting very early 2 to 2.5k
