I keep a count when I get gas. Ranges between 23-25mpg depending on how much in town driving I do vs. the 40 miles highway I do to work.

Mine goes into sleep mode after 15 seconds or so. How can i fix this?
Ummm... If these have a narcaleptic issue, maybe I'll hold off on purchasing one. :-(
i tried searching on scangauge website...didn't find any info on it. except that its normal for it to go in sleep mode.
Ok, I'm lost. Why would you want it to go to sleep vs. constant data feedback? It should be a menu item option to turn that feature on or off.
ok, i found out now. in the manual pg. 22. There's a setting just for our 1995-1999 subarus. where it change the PIDs to Supported mode. and viola! the gauge stays on now and the readings are consistently jumping up and down according to the engine load etc...
so yes, the answer is read the manual :lol:
Yeah that's what I was talking about before. The manual was in my car so I couldn't go find the page number.
I guess we should feel special.
My manual calculations before were always 22.5-23MPG, I'm already over 24 by monitoring my instant MPG to achieve the most whenever I drive.
yeah..didn't know what you was talking about at that point :lol:
Yep, 22-26 mpg is a common range for 2.5l motors. Subaru claimed 19/25 when the LGT first came out.
I suppose I could have told you guys this... but I figured it was better to let you work it out. ;)Quote:

Your manually calculated averages are probably more accurate vs. the instant MPG most of the readouts give actually.Quote:

I still manually calculate against the Scangauge when I fill up and it's on.
Any chance that you can hook it up to a laptop too? The end of the cable that goes to the gauge looks like an RJ-45 (ethernet) plug. My brother's been looking into getting one of these soon, he's dying to break 40MPG in his Civic.
I just got one of these. Wish I'd have had it when my GT was overheating, but maybe it was best that I didn't.
Now I can find out if it's the TPS or Knock Sensor causing the problems...or both.
RICHYSTEELE must has one! :smt026 group buy, group buy!
This is probably the price I got:

Also, FWIW, the new unit I got was firmware 3.17, which includes XGauge. XGauge lets you program in some additional functions and is a $25 ship-it-to-us-for-the-upgrade for older units. Keep that in mind if XGauge interests you and you get an older, used unit.
DLC your the man! thx 4 the infoQuote:

keep me in the know....
Man reading this thread has made my decision for me and If I get the job at autozone I might see if we can go a group buy through them if people are interested. I would see if we can get the same price as the employees or a little more but it's a 20% employee discount so it would come out to $127 or right around there.
^ thats pretty sweet. either way.. we can buy em through you! Haha. Then they will wonder why you've bought 20 scan gauge's in the past month! :lol:
FYI... I just came across this site that will allow group buys. Either 4 or 10 at a time...
It will also automatically include you in a group buy if there is enough people to do so (not sure how that works)
http://scangaugesales.com Click on the buy now button to see the group buy options.
$139.95 per unit for 4 or more (with free shipping)
$129.95 per unit with 10 or more (with free shipping)
