I see you are a long time member, but I still need to ask What is the advantage of buying it through here compared to say amazon? $10 ? Do the profits go to the forum or are you a reseller? If it goes to the forum do we become a member then and are ads then removed from the forum if in the event I am logged in not using the Firefox adblocking extension? Thank you!

Hi Kieranmullen:

___I am not just a long time member here but also own CleanMPG.com.

___WRT saving $10.00 here, why would you want to spend $10 more somewhere else? Who at Amazon have you contacted with your question by forum post, E-Mail or by phone on a late Sunday evening let alone if there is a problem? Did someone at Amazon offer to pre-program your ScanGauge?

___I stand behind ScanGauges because they are the only thing that work to reduce fuel consumption with a change in driving habits due to the displayed feedback. This is the cornerstone of CleanMPG. If you have read about SHM or above 99.9 mpg driving in a Prius-II, SAHM in an HCH-II or even a possible most fuel efficient acceleration rate in a Yaris w/ AT (that was only two days ago), you will learn what has been offered here vs. anyone at Amazon. I think you might ask yourself why Amazon charges $10 more by doing nothing but taking your money :(

___Good Luck

Hi Kieranmullen:

You may have noticed that you don't have to pay a cent to view anything on this site. Xcel is the one who pays for the bandwidth, and obviously invests countless hours on content and maintenance of the site. (Along with others.)

If one reads the posts by Xcel, one can clearly see he is not a retailer. His goals are to educate, and this is simply a tool for education. Amazon most certainly doesn't run a site to educate people on achieving maximum mileage.

Hi Excel, First of all great site. I just got my 2008 prius about 2 weeks ago and am loving it. Your site has been very helpful in maximizing FE. I ordered a block heater and would like to do some grill blocking but will wait until I order a scangauge. I have 2 questions before I order. 1 - what exactly do you mean by preprogrammed. As I understand it you just plug the scangauge in and set it up to your sepcific vehicle and you're good to go. 2 - It sounds like there are 2 temp readouts that I will want to monitor while blocking - the coolant (ICE) and the temp of the cooling system around the inverter. Is this correct? The scangauge reads both parameters? Thanks again.

Please add me to the current group buy.

Purchased a scangauge for me a couple of months ago for the Yaris. Well, recently purchased another Yaris so my husband says we need another scangauge. He just wants the toy.

Sent you a PM.

Let me know.

Hi Rod:

___ScanGauge has a number of parameters you can display right out of the box. However, there are many more that you can program into the ScanGauge’s X-Gauge’s for display that are not included. For the Prius in particular, you can watch SoC, Battery V and Current, aMPG and a number of tank FE and fuel consumption parameters that are not already programmed. Unfortunately, I do not know of a Inverter temp X-Gauge but coolant temp is one of the std.’s.

___Cindy and Krahnos, check your PM’s for reply’s to your PM’s ;)

___Good Luck

Hi All,

I ordered my scangauge from Wayne late morning on Thursday and it arrived this morning (Saturday). I don't get that kind of fast service with ebay..Amazon.. you name it. Also, I received my confrimation e-mail and tracking information within a couple hours of placing my order. That in addition to the fact that Wayne will preprogram the unit for you and you still get it for the same price as you'd pay anywhere elseand you support this site. Or you could save $10 and program it yourself. With my Prius there are several X-gauges that need to be programmed. I know the information is available on the internet but Wayne does this all the time and for $10 it's well worth the money. I just plugged mine in and set the gauges I wanted displayed and I'm set.

My only problem was that after I had the scangauge installed my wife took the Prius to work.

Thanks again Wayne

Hi Wayne--

hi Wayne,
thanks for orchestrating the group buy--seems like a great idea.

A rookie question concerning the X-gauge pre-programming; are there pre-programmed settings for the HCH II? And if so, how should I specify them in my order? When I hit the 'buy now button, I'm not seeing a place to request pre-programming. Probably missing something obvious.
thanks Philip

08-24-2008, 07:58 PM

Hi Philip:

___For non Prius’, non FEH’s and non Diesel’s, I add quite a few more FE averaging and Trip FE X-Gauges.

___The unfortunate part is my last in stock ScanGauge was sold just 10 minutes ago and my own 8 from this Group Buy will not be here until tomorrow or Tuesday :(

___For pre-programming, I have been asking those that want those functions setup to use the donation button on the lower right of the home page. Include or verify that your name and address per the PayPal statement is correct and include your vehicles engine size, fuel tank capacity and I can take care of the rest :)

___Good Luck

hi Wayne,

thanks for your note. I'm in no real hurry-- will you continue to take more orders as they come in?

And just to make sure that I understood correctly, I'd send you payment for the pre-programming as a separate PayPal transaction-- did I get that right?

thanks Philip

xcel

08-24-2008, 09:20 PM

Hi Philip:

___Yup :) You can do the whole transaction through the donation button or just $10.00 + the Buy Now for $149.95. When I run out, I place new orders in a list and they can either be sent by Linear or I ship them depending on when I receive them. I hope that helps?

___Keith, your ScanGauge-II is in the USPS hands so check your E-Mail for the tracking number.

Hi Philip:

___I received your order, setup and pre-programmed your ScanGauge-II and delivered it to the USPS system. Check your E-Mail for the confirmation and tracking number.

___Something else that was kind of new about this one… Although I cannot control the upstream and downstream fuel consumption or emissions of package delivery, I can control the packages footprint from my home to the USPS and in this case, it was minimal ;)

___If you have not checked your E-Mail, your ScanGauge’s are shipped with Travis’ going out just a few minutes ago… By bike again too ;)

___Kacey, I will get yours programmed as soon as a new stock arrives later this week.

___Moran, I checked with the USPS and without any tracking or insurance, I can have one sent for $8.10 so add an extra $4.10. I do not know what it will cost through UPS but I suspect about $25.00?

___There is a risk with the post office (not so much here in the US or Canada) but I do not know how reliable or safe the African or Kenyan Post Office system is? I also do not know if a package like this goes through customs and stays on a USPS controlled flight directly to Kenya or not either? Do you have any relatives in the states that I can send one too and they can deliver it to you the next time either you come to the States or they head to Kenya?

___I hope that helped???

Wow! Wayne, I just found this thread and it's amazing! You are doing one heck of a job here. I asked for a ScanGauge for my birthday last month, and my wife got it somewhere else unfortunately, for 159.95, free shipping. I feel bad that she could have saved $10, but love her for getting me something she regards as a toy. LOL! I wonder if it's possible for you to send me the code (text form--at your convenience) to show avg. MPG over a brief time or distance; say, .05 miles, or every 10-15 seconds? I think that would be an extremely helpful metric to observe to see changes in FE with AC on, for example, or changes between 45 and 55 mph. I'd be happy to make a donation to get these codes. I'm driving a 2004 Subaru WRX turbo wagon; I believe it uses ISO codes. Oh, and BTW, if this info is already available elsewhere, just a pointer would be helpful! You know the saying..."Teach a man to fish..." :)
Thanks in advance!
