Welcome to CleanMPG. I'm glad Wayne's clinic was useful and got you wanting to know more.

Wasn't ever known as a 'hybrid' or 'Prius' kind of guy (I know you know what I mean...hey is this microphone on? Did I say that out loud?) but now can't imagine how anyone who could get one doesn't.
Nice to be here.

None taken.
I'm not surprised either to find converts or adamant opponents among those who have experienced the Prius. For "drivers" the slight lag even in Power mode and Toyota's patented robotic driving experience are offputting, while for appliance users visibility, comfort and road noise are issues.
I like it, my wife doesn't.

Gonna do some ref work on scanguageII vs ultraguage and the like.

The programmable XGauge feature in the ScanGauge allows a driver to see values that would otherwise be inaccessible. In a conventional car that's not a big deal, but in a Prius it allows the driver to monitor some key values, such as the inverter coolant temperature.
An alternative for smartphone users is buying an app that works with an OBDII cable.
People here recommend ScanGauge for the XGauge, it's accuracy, because Linear Logic provides excellent support and because it's assembled in the USA. But there are plenty here who use it, Ultragauge or both.
