Actually, I love haters... They make your day go by faster... It's funny to watch them spool up. :D 8) and post a whole bunch of :vtec: 's

I also want one of these nice tools for trying to drive more consistantly and to get as much out of the Aveo as possible.

Yeah.. I coast in neutral when I can, accelerate moderately to keep the BSFC up and don't speed when I don't have to. I'd like to be able to see that what I'm doing is in the right direction (pun intended).

Awesome contest! Count me in... :D

that sounds like a neat tool to have, i'd like to have one

Might as well put myself in here too! Sounds like a very useful tool to have!

me too, though i have my laptop :cry:

ive never seen this scangauge before. what are its benefits if you dont mind me asking?

reads mpg in realtime, along with other things, but the mpg is the best feature, thats the only thing i cant see on my computer at the moment, though it doesnt matter to me anyways :P

It's an OBD-II tool: so it lets you monitor all your OBD-II parameters like:

* Fuel Rate
* Battery Voltage
* Coolant Temperature
* Intake Air Temperature
* Engine Speed (RPM)
* Vehicle speed (MPH)
* Manifold Pressure (not available on some vehicles)
* Engine Load
* Throttle Position
* Ignition Timing
* Open/Closed Loop
* Fuel Economy

You can use it to read / reset the check engine light codes. I've done this on a bunch of my family members' cars with my Scangauge - everything from loose gas caps to actual problems that needed fixing.

Plus it's also a trip computer that stores:

* Maximum Speed
* Average Speed
* Maximum Coolant Temperature
* Maximum RPM
* Driving Time
* Driving Distance
* Fuel Used
* Trip Fuel Economy
* Distance to Empty
* Time to Empty
* Fuel to Empty

It does a bunch of other stuff as well. http://www.scangauge.com/features/
