Scan gauge II

OntarioVW_TDI · Mar 26, 2012

I got mine a few months ago and really like it, I always find I get better milage when I ce see instant numbers in comparison to what I'm doing. I got a question for anyone else out there that has one. Do you find that what it tells you your avg milage is is way off what it actually is? I drove to Toronto and back the other day and the scan gauge told me I averaged 33mpg on the trip and when I figured it out by filling up when I got home it said I was at almost 50. Is there some setting I need to change?

Have you done multiple fillups from the same pump, re-teaching Scangauge how much fuel you've bought each time until it's dialed in?

Follow these calibration instructions only when
you are filling your fuel tank. If you do not fill your
tank to its capacity, then the calibration process will
not produce accurate results.
1) Fill up the tank, letting the pump shut off automatically.
2) Use the FILLUP function to tell ScanGauge you have
filled the tank. From the Home Screen, follow the
sequence shown to the right.

3)

On your first fill-up, DO NOT make any
adjustments to the indicated fuel. Simply press the
lower right button to move to the next screen.

4) Next, the Fuel Cost Screen will appear. Use the upper
left and right function buttons to adjust the cost per
gallon/liter, and press the lower right function button
next to SAVE.
5) Keep the ScanGauge connected to your vehicle and
use the vehicle normally.
6) Once you reach approximately 1/4 tank of fuel left,
follow the directions in Step 2.
