I just ordered my little hunk of hypermileing uglyness. Ive never paided sooo much for sooooo much ugly in my life.

OOO well,,, I will see just how bad Im doing at times. LMAO

Hi Psy:

___It is an ugly looking box but it is functional like no other OBD-II scanning SW/HW package out there other then the manufacturers CAN-View based stuff. We all know what those HW/SW packages can cost :(

___I am very interested in how it handles FAS’. It appears that the current segment FE might be blown out after each reboot but the segment average might still hold true in the daily display/readout? The digital iFCD is not as good as the OEM bar graph based units (imho) but at least you have an iFCD and an aFCD to record and use for optimization in that brand new Civic of yours … Let me know how it works and if it works as expected, I will have to purchase one for the Ranger and Accord.

___Good Luck

i'm still waiting on mine :(

WRT display, etc-
I've emailed with the guy asking about a data dump capability, since it holds some info in NV memory already. Even a basic RS232 so we can visualize the data any way we want on a PC/laptop and automatically see changes over time. Although he said there was a lot of interest in that, the development cost and incremental cost per unit was slightly too high for him to do at this point. It seems he's happy with the product and specifically its price point more or less as-is?

That doesn't exclude a digital tinkerer (definitely not me) from playing inside, however...

i'm still waiting on mine :(

When did you order it phil?

If there had been a option on there website. I would have ordered it ups red collect. As it is I did have it shiped to my place of work.

Im going to call them and see if that shipment option can be done. I hate waiting.

edit

I just emailed them to see if it could be shiped UPS Red to my Acct. number. Bet they wont do it. Dosent hurt to ask.

i'm still waiting on mine :(

Wasn't it you who ordered it before I did, even though I have had mine for almost two weeks now? (I know somebody was surprised when mine showed up.) If so, something must be wrong. Mine was shipped USPS to CT and took three days or so.

It's worked out really well so far. I keep the iMPG and fuel flow rate displayed and ignore pretty much everything else except trip and tank fuel economy. Those displays alone are worth the cost.

After hearing it again and again, finally went to www.scangauge.com (http://www.scangauge.com), read some, then ordered one over the phone during lunch. I was warned that it can't account for the fuel cutoffs and the lean burn, but they are working on a software upgrade.

First weekend in May, I'm driving to Colorado, so it will be interesting what the engine temperature, etc is in the Rockies.

It will probably be mounted on the steering column.

They said it will probably arrive on Saturday or Monday.

the guy said shipping to canada could be 2 to 8 weeks, once the week 8 has passed I will complain. Until then I can only bug my wife about , "Is there any new mail?"

"no"

"Man... driving is going to suck."

I need something to relief me of all the mpg other people are getting T_T

Ive never paided sooo much for sooooo much ugly in my life.

It's not...that...bad actually.
(But then six months ago I would have laughed in your face if you told me I'd have a tire gauge in my purse)

Hi Tarabell:

Wayne i spoke with a person at ScanGauge today. I was told that I should put the unit in Hybrid mode to help with no reads when FASing. Also the unit should stay active up to 3 min. with no engine activity. He couldnt think of any reason to have troubles with looseing averages and stuff from a bump start. but honestly didnt know what to think about a key start.

Hi Psy:

___I knew about Hybrid mode as that is what he was suggesting once he had the code finished for it last year. I cannot wait until I hear of your successes or failures … Either way, at least you have an idea as to what kind of fuel consumption you are using at any given instant with ICE-On and hopefully even with ICE-Off ;)

___Good Luck

___Wayne

Hmm. I'll have to give Hybrid mode a shot and see what happens. I had to grin this morning when I went into FAS and saw 99999 on the FE gauge just before the screen went blank :D .

I got the SG today. Its butt ugly and works like a charm!! Ripped thru the setup. Set the engine size, hybrid, tank size, checked the mode and away we went. It works perfect in the Civic. MPH was spot on. Air Intake temp was ambient when moveing and high 90's or better when stop with ice on or off. Water temp verys a bit with a high of 197F. RPM seemed good with the tach. Engine load seemed high for say 55 mph at 2400 rpm at 60%. I didnt study load much tho. Most of the digital gauges worked. There where a few blanks. Open / Closed loop worked. Timing worked. Will have to get into the digital gauges more.

Now for the important stuff,,,, FAS WORKED!!!! Did bump starts and key starts. Never missed a beat. Go up a hill like must folks mpg drops. Load drive up the hill mpg stays the same within reason. Coast ICE on mpg goes up. Coast ICE off MPG goes up better. :) Shut engine off coasting to a traffic light mpg goes up and holds as you set at the light ICE off. Light turns green,,, take off and get it in high gear ,, mpg starts back up. The numbers in trip function stayed stable, reliable, and very useful. The instant mpg reading swung wildly. Was intresting to watch it for a short while. I held it for a few miles at like 58 mpg then hit a pebble or a car passed or the mpg god put the hate on me, gauge went up then down and never could hold it again.

So in the Civic it works great. Wife informed me that we would be in the Accord the rest of the week. She has crap she has to do for work. This of course means a tank of gas will be blown out. I will do my best to try and keep the tank in the low 30's. Will put the SG in and hope for the best.

Here are some pics of todays adventure.

Here we have total miles driven. I installed the SG in the parking lot at work. Left to go by UPS and then over to pick the wife up. Then home.

MPG from the wifes office to the house. This is where I hit 70 mph. Watch the diff. in load and none load driving. Also had a bunch of stop and go / beep and creep traffic. Also two libary stops for the wife. One in Tulsa and one in Okmulgee. Women jacks up mpg when shes not driving. :(
http://www.psyshack.com/today.jpg

My butt MPG Meter was telling me there was 50 mpg ave. in the car. The SG proves it. I think I can get that nailed. But truthfully I dont think theres much more than that in me. Theres comes a point its just not worth it.

Enjoy!!
psy

Hi Psy:

___God Bless you man, God Bless you ;)

___About that too much work to punch out 50 mpg from your 06 Civic ... It is not that much work, really :D

___Good Luck

___Wayne

ya its not that much more work when all of us arrive at work at the same time almost ;)

man you got it first than me!!! Oh boy i can't WAIT TO TOP your numbers psy! But 3 mins... i demand more!

Put the SG in the Accord this morning. It works great!! Setup was a breeze. FAS works great!!

The drive from the house to my place of work I got a hard fought 37.9 mpg on the tank reading. I was able to get the current reading up to 41 mpg. Was in the high 30's F this am. Should be in the high 70's F for the drive back home. Air intake temp, MAP, water temp, load, instant mpg and such seemed to work in the digital gauge funtion. And the car showed no codes.

It was a really hard drive in to get any mpg out of the Accord this am. Im sure it will be better this afternoon with the warmer temps.

Also folks where road rageing. Last light of the trip in I had a green to make a right turn on for the home run to the office. Some ******* deceided he needed to run a red left turn arrow and it was my fault I had a green. ( Im learning to hate humans with a passion ) So he was cussing and yelling at me as I locked up my brakes. In a FAS I mite add. After being fliped off, yelled at and so on several other times this am. That was it. I started the Accord and took off after the idiot. He darted into a door at a shop of some sort down the street and locked the door. Wife was like ooo crap. She knew I'd had my fill. I now know where this ****er works. She begged me not to kick the door in and wipe the floor with him. So I left the sob hiding in his office. I will get him.

It took me 20 miles to get the Accord above 30 mpg. average. The SG will be in the Accord for the rest of the week. So it will be intresting what it shows verses the hand calcs. It will need filled up by friday.

Hi All

What I really like about my scangauge is the Tank reset so when you fill up at the pump, you can compare what gas you burned verses what you added to the tank. After a few fillups, you begin to find out the scangauge is better to trust. On a great tank I had, I divided the miles by the gallons it took to fill the tank to the top and got 56.5mpg. By checking the fuel used on the scangauge, I came up with more gallons burned and a true 48.22mpg. After driving the tank down again, I found I really didn't fill the tank the same as the prior tank. If I had posted that I had a tank of 56.5mpg and then posted the next tank at 38mpg, I'd look like a fool. A while back before I had my scangauge, I posted I had a 51mpg tank and that was a mistake then. Just because you think you know how to fill the tank the same everytime, trust me, it doesn't work that way.

For those posting tank averages, get a scangauge and feel much better knowing the real (as close as you can) average. With all the gauges I have to compare, I know where I should be fuel wise.

Just spoke with the wife. She took the car on to her place of work after droping me off. She admited to watching the SG and that the mpg ave. had droped to 36 mpg. She stated she wasnt going to watch it anymore. Wreck is her second name so theres no way she can drive and sing along with the radio muchless drive and check the SG. But it did get her attention. Any hypermiling is out of the question.

My worse fears happend. She wrecked the tank. She hammered it down to 33 mpg. I fought hard all the way home to get it back up to 35 mpg. My current was showing 40 mpg. Its not enough to repair her damage.

OOO Well :(

yay i got mine too and WOW I hope i don't crash while staring at it... but lucky the unit came with a lot of sticky straps so pretty much anywhere you can strap for optimal vision. (I plan to put it so i can eye it while still retaining road vision, kinda like toyota's centre gauging placement) Its pretty cool to see your mpg climb by .1 when you go in N, and it comes even faster when you FAS which I'm glad has no hiccups. Although funny all my units are in metric except for my FE which I perfer MPG thanks to you guys :O\

L/100km sounds so boring compared to mpg since in this case the higher number is better! Also the battery function is awesome as well as I can tell how healthy my battery is while I"m FASing, there's a lot of neat things about this device and I have to read up on the manual but until then

this tool can bring the fun back into driving if you drive for mileage of course ;)

Todays tank mpg as the SG saw it for the day. :)

Since there is an Orbit gum container in the pic I can't resist.

<british chick in white dress> 49.4 MPG? Fabulous! *flashes smile* </british chick in white dress>

:D

I got mine last Saturday, but I'm still looking for my OBD2 connector. :(

Going to call Honda and hope they can help.

The obd2 on the Accorrd is on the left side right up under the edge of the dash. On the Civic is on the right side up under the edge of the dash. Took less than 15 secs to find them. That would be on the drivers side.

Good luck Delta :)

so what gauges do you guys like to use? So far I'm enjoying water temp, air temp, battery voltage and litres per 100 km

.....Got my scangauge 2 days ago. It works perfectly, as designed. It is more useful to me re: water temp, rpms, intake temp, etc; but the MPG and trip stuff will be of limited value, because the scangauge does NOT account for lean burn in my 5-speed Insight. When I am cruising @ 54 mph and getting a true 122 mpg, the gauge only says 85 mpg. When I am @ 61 mph and getting 93 mpg, the gauge only says 74 mpg.
I do like the orange back lighting, and the fact that no power source is needed, just the OBD connector. Lots of fun so far.......

I leave mine on current mpg,,, and work it baby!!!

The other features are nice. Ive check intake air temp. its always What ambient is when under power and moving. Very little super heating of the intake air charge by the engine so far. some of the other gauges are neat to look at and could be useful in there own rights. But I bought the thing for the mpg aspect. Seeing that Honda saw fit to screw me out of a trip function in my Navi. The *******.

The wife is just wrecking the tank with her running around town for work. I can get it up to 39/43 mpg pretty easy on the hwy and maintain speed of 60 mph. and even higher at times. The 5AT just ruins the car. Its a worthless hunk of crap. I played with it today in city traffic a bit. If your caught at speeds of 30 to 35 mph it drinks gas cause the idiot box AT will keep you locked in 3rd or 4th and spin the tach up. You have to be at 45 mph or better to get any mpg out of the darn thing or it will langwish in the 20's mpg area and screw the crap out of a tank. But she dosent want to drive a 5MT and use her brain.

OOOO well.

I drove up today from work,,, working hard to try to get 39 mpg with a steady 20 mph head wind. And there set the Civic. Willing and ready to do mpg battle. But nooo we have to drive the Accord cause the wife has running around to do for work.

The scangauge is much better suited for the Civic and 5MT. :)

so what gauges do you guys like to use? So far I'm enjoying water temp, air temp, battery voltage and litres per 100 km
Left to right, top to bottom, I show RPM, MAP, ECT, MPG. That would be engine speed, manifold absolute pressure, engine coolant temperature, and of course miles per gallon. I like the RPM display because the Civic HX tacho reads high at all engine speeds other than idle. Even at a mere 2500rpm (true) engine speed the factory gauge is showing about 2750. This has always bothered me, so I like knowing the real engine speed.

Manifold pressure is probably one of the most important yet most underrated tools for achieving high fuel economy, especially in cars with no cruise control. How I've used mine is to basically memorize what MAP is needed for any given road speed. For example 7.7psi manifold pressure at 45mph will hold that speed steady. If I accellerate up to 45mph, lift off the throttle and upon thinking I'm going a steady speed but seeing 8.5psi, I know that I'm actually accellerating, albeit very slowly, so I back it off to the right manifold pressure.

It also lets you know what percentage of engine power you're making. At my elevation, 14.2psi is ambient, so if I'm climbing a steep freeway transition ramp in 5th gear at 2300rpm and seeing 12.8psi, I know that I'm using nearly all available engine power, but there's still a little left, so I know I don't have to downshift yet. If I'm seeing 13.9psi (which believe it or not you can get even at as little as about 40% throttle due to the low engine speed) then I know I'm starting to lug the engine and should think about downshifting to 4th gear if I start to lose any speed.

Coolant temp is mainly just there so I know if I'm warmed up or not. Everyone knows your FE is poor on a cold engine, not to mention you should avoid high engine load at low engine temps for wear reasons. Cold oil does not protect the cylinder skirts very well. Lastly, MPG kind of explains itself. Everyone's gotta have an instant MPG readout. :)

Put the SG in the Accord this morning. It works great!! Setup was a breeze. FAS works great!!

The drive from the house to my place of work I got a hard fought 37.9 mpg on the tank reading. I was able to get the current reading up to 41 mpg. Was in the high 30's F this am. Should be in the high 70's F for the drive back home. Air intake temp, MAP, water temp, load, instant mpg and such seemed to work in the digital gauge funtion. And the car showed no codes.

It was a really hard drive in to get any mpg out of the Accord this am. Im sure it will be better this afternoon with the warmer temps.

i just had enough road rage myself, some guy in a Acura TL kept blinding me with his headlights and to make it worse he was VERY close to my bumper. I on purposely travellled the speed limit (30 mph) as well as driving without brakes (since I got some nasty speed bumps near the school i have to pass by) and he still blinds me and tailgates me whenever he can honking his horn for me to go faster as I wave the middle finger at him. After finally reaching to my house i stopped the car in the middle of the road and he stopped right next to me.

He got out, and yelled, some words that just naturally starts fights between people.

I told him he was a jerk, and that he shouldn't have tailgated me in the first place.

After some more nasty words to boil things between him and I,

he opened his door, and i grabbed my brake lock. I realized i was in the middle of the road so I quickly pulled in my driveway, as I did he got back in his car and ran away....

...forbid me I'd done something I regret if he didn't ran away.. its just moments like these lose faith and it makes me more timid and maybe I have to bite the bullet and just drive on like them? Looks like I have no choice if I don't want to hurt those I love...

Heck there are times I just can't FAS because of the people around me, way too much impatience among these people... there is no end to the maddness. Its almost like people can't spare the extra seconds anymore... :mad:

I'm just very shaken up at the moment... I haven't wanted to fight ever since elementry school.

I just hope maybe higher gas prices would end this maddness and people can be more relaxing with their driving habits...

forgot to add... all this crazyness and I"m sitting at 6L/100 km (39mpg) with only 50 km on the odometer. ( 30 miles)


one more edit: good read about the manifold pressure, godda give that a shot. Using these gauges to your advantages is the hardest part.

and how to use the battery voltage feature on the scangauge http://www.cleanmpg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=352

(edited for content) now when I look back it at... I shouldn't have pulled out that finger... but he did started it :P I guess next time I'm just have to keep my cool and never sink to their level.

Hi Phil:

___I just got into some trouble for commenting on the “Ridge Riding” technique in the YaHoo Ford Escape Forums!

___Anyway, get those right wheels on the white line and you will be surprised how many simply move around from a very healthy distance to your rear. Driving the speed limits is no reason to get ticked off, into a fight, or worse! RR may just alleviate the kind of problem you ran into today? Try and place your personality in the glove box and drive as if you were a machine. It should keep your blood pressure below boiling and make your daily routine that much more enjoyable … I hope anyway ;)

I’m thinking about dropping out. I stopped and looked at mobile homes today. I don’t need this crap. I have 5 acres in NE Arkansas. My kids are all raised. The wife is kind of freaking. She wants to put up with all this insanity she can have it. I wanted to kick that guys ass so bad the other day. No I wanted to torture him... make him scream to god and his mother for help. If I hadn’t heard the wife’s voice in the background I would have had the pistol out of the car and on him in a very bad way. Removed

I’m nowhere near perfect. How can you be with a nick name psycho. I’ve really been behaving myself for the last 15 years. Removed

Road Rage and general behavior of man kind is in the cellar now. Its a hot topic at work. In social circles. Its on the news, net and church. The cops say we it your going to jail. Cops don’t do anything.

Removed

God I’m just getting to old to have to deal with this on a daily basis.

Psy, I had to remove much of your post as it was over the top for both current and future CleanMPG readers. Life can indeed suck sometimes but we need to take time out to spend some time with our kids, go fishing, read a book, see a movie, and/or simply escape from the rest for a while if need be ...

___Good Luck to you and yours.

___Wayne

there is a cure for all this insanity but it will require an "open mind" upon yourself. Do you have a temper problem as I do? If so PM me lets talk.

update: my average loves to linger around 35 mpg (6.5L) but i knocked it back up (down) to 41 mpg (5.7 whoo!) those 8 mile trips are sure not helping. On the way home from school one long FAS really helped the average ALOT as opposed to having the engine on (because consumption increases while in N as your speed drops). For me dropping from 60km (35miles)/hr results in 3,5,7 L/100km as I slow down (71, 47, 31 mpg) to 15 miles per hour (25 km/h) so my strategy lately is to FAS to a light (in my case 75% of the time it turns red) and slow down to conserve momentum. As it turns green and my speed is in the low 5 km/h range (3 miles) I try (although I fail alot, gripping the clutch and the engine doesn't turn on) to bump start in 2nd and away I go.

Still trying to refine that technique... boy I wish a computer can do it all for me wink wink

Whoops posted in the wrong thread.... sorry...

Ridge riding also improves FE on 2 lane roads. The further you are away from vehicles passing in the opposite direction the less turbulence you have to push through, as verified by my Air Speed Indicator.:D

haha yeah, now i stay away from the opposite side as much as possible, and hugging the right lane as much as possible ever since you mentioned that. My iFCD doesn't spike up anymore as cars past by ;) and my speed doesn't drop.

Also I've been reading a lot on physics on the topic "conservation of momentum" since I noticed the accord coasts better than the civic but one is heavier than the other. As I near my studies that will be another thread to talk upon on.

I'm going to start hugging the right side of the road now that you have brought that to my attention.

hm i just noticed this now, when i key off and then key on to IGII the scangauge freezes for at least 7 seconds or so before resuming to record data. By that time I think any FAS i incorporated would not be recorded until the scangauge finally figures out what's going on... hm.... that's not too good... that means my numbers should be higher than they already are!!

I have the mode on hybrid too, hm maybe I have to tweak it a bit more.

And I have to recalibrate my speed too lol... not sure how accuate it is.

phil

Mine keeps right on clicking off the numbers in all the cars. You have alot of short FAS. I wont FAS unless its atleast a 1/4 mile. Well unless its a stop light Im rolling up to. :)

well its just that when i finally got up to 45 mph and then key off my data freezes for a bit and by the time I see 9999 mpg the speedo is already showing < 35 mph so my tank average doesn't get modifed till then. I remember seeing a BUS option for the scangauge so I"m going to tinker it for a bit because I'm pretty sure I messed up my average already with all these FAS.


well after a few more runs i recalibrated the gauge and now its sitting with a fresh tank of 50L of gas (13.2 gallons) after putting 30L (7.91 gallons) on the tank. Unfortnately I messed three of my odometers (tripA, tripB, and scangauge) so I wasn't able to know my mileage but if I had to guess probably 6.2L/100km (37.9mpg) from when I last looked at it before I hit the FILL button by accident. For the MODE setting I decided to use AUTO and hope it picked the best one FPRS i think it choosed and when FASing it resumes data after 5-7 seconds the most. What suprises me though is that since tripA i don't touch I compared it with the tank trip of the scangauge and its distances are equal. So during the freeze the scangauge is still recording data? So why is the tank average still and then starts updating again by that same number it last froze with (instead of a updated one.)

This confusion has lead me to one conclusion, just FAS the living crap out of it and hope by the time I hit empty I get a nice number. So far with 1150 KM (715 miles) to empty it looks like I have no choice.

Nice tool though, I'm afraid I might crash one day because of it. So far my most useful gauges are now voltage, Manifold pressure (now I know what it means to accelerate with 10g or whatever Dan said), LHK (i want to use mpg but just for the sake of calibration I'm forced to use the "lower is better" kinda thinking) and speedometer since RPMS I can hear my engine when it climbs to the 2500 mark, boy Hondas sure love to be loud.

Still wish I had one of those hybrids though, they make my mileage look like cheese as I milk mine to the very drop.

Just put the SG in the Ranger for the first time. Have to haul a large fan home this evening and bring it back monday. The Ranger hasnt had any gas put in it since 2/24/06. The wife has driven it some in the last week or so. Its a safe bet this tank is blown smooth out.

I pluged it into the Rangers port and waited forever it seemed for it to connect. Once it was sync'ed up I changed the engine size to 2.5L. Cleared the Civics tank out. Fired the truck up and off we went.

First thing I noticed: The Rangers reporting / info cycle time is much slower than the Hondas. I wanted to look at rpm's and shift point. ( Ranger has no tach ) It reports so slow that using the rpm as a tach is near useless. It would report steady speed rpm. At 55 mph it's around 2280 rpm. Floats around 20 to 40 rpm either way it seemed.

I then noticed the MAP dosent seem to work. All other gauge functions seemed to work.

I got 31.8 mpg for the segment into work this am as posted by the SG. I checked the log and this seems right on, seeing the best tank Ive ever done in the truck was 31 mpg.

The Ranger is in good running order. Soon after we got the Accord I put a new set of heap cheap Dougles tires on it. Changed the oil to Walmart 3w-30 syn and filter. Changed the tranny fluid. And the third member gear lube. Put a new battery in it. New plugs and wires and cleaned the cone style filter on it.

Sure is a chore driving it. Once youu have a truck yeah just cant live without one. Even if it spends most of its time parked under a pecan tree. :)

psy

Just got an e-mail that so far there is no lean-burn patch for ScanGage.

While I still enjoy reading the non-fuel data, it would be nice if some day the patch comes in....

Brandon,

If it was off by 1-2mpg - I'd live with it.

We are talking about the instant mpg reading 75, but ScanGage displaying 23mpg. etc... :eek:
