Who makes an Aftermarket MPG Computer?

Well, when the Dashdyno is calibrated it predicts my weekly tank fill, which is usually very close unless I fill up at a pump that rips me off with bad gas!

Currently, my Dashdyno's performance 0-60 screen didn't work well. Gotta email them for a fix!

If you will go to ebay and do a search on scan gauge it will bring up all the brands that anyone on there has to offer.

Setting the Scangauge to Hybrid in the fuel menu keeps it alive during EOC / FAS.

I recommend it.

Are there any pre-OBD2 fuel monitors? I think SuperMID may be, but I'm not sure, and I can't seem to find a good link for it.

There are some pre-OBDII mileage monitors but they may all be DIY electronics projects. There's a link in my sig (do I sound like a broken record?) that is very easy and not too expensive (<$40) that can at least easily show you fuel rate. It's not combined with speed so it won't show MPG, but right at the top of it I recently added links to two threads about MPG monitors based on similar technology.

Thanks for mentioning that.

I think the OBD2 approach (what's used by DashDyno and Scanguage) probably works well for most people most of the time. But I think there are certain circumstances where errors might creep in. I also think certain types of errors might tend to balance each other, which means you won't notice them when you're doing your calibration on a strictly per-tank basis (which is the main means of calibration that is typically used).

I don't want to overstate the problem, and I think there is no perfect solution that is superior. I just think it's good to be aware of this possible limitation.
