I'm surprised that the smart crowd hadn't discovered the SG prior to this (if I read your earlier post correctly).

Anyway - nice to hear you're equipped. Have fun & report back!

yes that smart car has some potenial! the scangauge actually shows 0.0 LPK when the driver lifts his foot off the accelerator!

Indeed, the smart diesel doesn't use fuel when coasting... !!!

...which more than makes up for for not putting in an auto-stop or kill switch, which isn't really a good idea on a turbo'd diesel, as you want the turbo to cool down before shutting the engine off.

I do turn the engine off after 15 seconds of being stopped, as long as I have 15 seconds more before I need to go - like when there is a train obviously.

You guys just wait til I get my skinnies back on the car and boost the PSI... :eek:

skinnies back on and PSI set at 44

seems I can get 70 mpg US in day to day driving, mixed hwy + city + suburban... partly due to using Scanguage. I loved it so much, I've got a bulk purchase going, and already 35 units are ordered for Canadian smart owners. I'm going to get more in, and have some leftover... under $200 Canadian if anyone from Canada is interested.

Hi smartzuuk!

Keep the MPG up, because I'm not doing my part for fuel economy.....
