The ISUZU TROOPER is rated at 18 mpg... I am getting 22-24 on the highway using Premium fuel... (not required) but gives better or lower (CPM) Cost Per Mile than Regular Unleaded. I bet a Scan Gauge is an newer version of a Vacuum Gauge... which will do the same thing, only cheaper. Good idea though!

I usually get much better than the EPA estimated mileage for my Toyota Tacoma. I'm supposed to get 16/19 MPG but I normally get 20 to 21.5. I added a ScanGuage II and it has educated my right foot in the ways of driving for best economy. Best accessory I ever bought.
