OKay, I am still playing around with the ScanGauge thing and one of it's features is that you can put in the cost of gas per gallon or liter and the tank capicity and you can display the cost of the trip AS YOU DRIVE :shock: :shock:

So after I gas up and start the KJ, it shows $0.35 right off the bat and haven't even moved yet... keep driving and see the money rack up like a Taxi Meter....

I usually like to cruise around the block a few times to I try to find a parking spot and watch the $$$ add up. It makes sense when you calc your total cost divided by the amount fuel at fill up.

Holy... makes you really think about the cost of fuel but never really watched it real time as you travel!! :shock:


If it does that I don't want one, would be too depressing :lol: :lol: :lol: can you even think about reading it out crawling around on rocks in low range all day :roll: :roll:

Thats one of the neat things is you can show 4 options at one time like 4 guages. So if you don't like what on guage show change that option. That why I said it would take a while till you decide what you want to regularly see. So many options and you can only see 4 at a time, you will spend quite some time deciding what guage you want. every few months I change a guage just for the giggles of a new guage to monitor. :twisted: :twisted:

Get the ScanGauge II direct from:

www.scangauge.com

That way you get the latest software version.

They warranty it too.

Tomm, that is a good call as I mounted mine in my GM daily driver SUV/cross-over since I drive that more... I ran the cable thru the dash to hide it so transferring to the KJ is a big hassle.

I shoulda got the extra cable to check other vehicles but didn't really know what to expect before ordering it... I thought it would be a novelty toy but given the wealth of info available, I may order another one but am curious if they have some new software enhancements ie. tranny temps for Toyotas was discussed on another forum.

Rush, what setting do you have yours at? I am trying to figure out how they calculate the cost and how accurate it is... is it based upon the actual engine RPM's and engine size that we put in as even when I sit idle, it still clocks $$$. Tomm is right though, now I am seeing the actual cost per trip rather than just the mileage clocked is a real eye opener. That Sunday drive for Ice Cream is costing me more than I thought!!! :oops:

Definitely a cool computer.... some of the most luxurious cars don't have this level of info in their on board comps but then again they don't want you to see the cost of running them I figure.
