From what I've understood, is a ScanGuage functionally an after-market "trip computer option" for a minivan?

Yes it does that plus its a real time readout of most of the engine sensors as well as calculate instant mpg(its most important feature). It will also retrieve any error codes in the ECM.

The SG2 is easy to install and gives an instant feedback of what's going on with your vehicle.

its for most 1996+ vehicles that have an obdII connector. Usually located under the dash on the driver's side. Most people's aero-mods use inexpensive parts.

There is a group buy for Scangauge II for $149.95 they extended it till June 30, 2007. That's where I got mine.

I wish someone would have told me about the group pricing. Ohh well!

There should be section on the get best mpg for large cars.

[popimp]

TANGOJETTA, I agree that there should be a section for large cars but that's probably to broad. It should probably be a little more specific, like van, minivan, suv, sedan, coupe, compact, etc...

[88HF]

Maybe so, but there should still be an overall top 10, even if there is a top 10 in other categories. I think it would bring more use of the site.

Maybe best mpg for vehicles under 25mpg EPA, or something like that.
