Re: Hood protector gas mileage

I like the idea of a Scangauge thread. The more I have messed with it, the more I figure I don't totally understand some of the way it works, or why they did things the way they did. We may not...

Re: Hood protector gas mileage

I first noticed what I thought was the better mileage in hills about 4 years ago, and just assumed it was calculation error or setting error on the Scangauge. We go 21 mpg on a very hilly stretch of...

Re: Hood protector gas mileage

Hood protector gas mileage
