I can't disagree there, but given that there is nothing better out there, its what I bought, and I've got to live with what it provides. The best test I could do would be to find a 50 mile stretch...

I'm guessing it uses rpm/mi and displacement and intake temp calculating at a 14.7 to 1 A/F ratio. There was a thread about that a year or so ago. search for scangage or scangauge.

Anyway, to...

This is a real old thread. My plugs said i was running too lean, and i found out that the scangage doesn't actually monitor fuel used, but rather the fuel it thinks should be used, so I stopped...

I don't have $300 for a wideband sensor. I'm getting good MPG's, my plugs look ok, and my narrowband sensor says I'm not running lean, so i'll just leave it be.

As for the fan, I have a Saturn...

I have an A/F meter. It doesn't run too lean. I heat the air up to about 200. Anything over that is bad. Same with water temp up to about 205, over that is bad. Once its warmed up, I cheat the...

Hmmmm, I don't shut the engine off. If i'm coming up to a light I put it in neutral and roll up to it, trying to time when i get there to when the traffic will be moving again, but that's about it....

Re: that's amazing - nice

Something else I didn't understand...

Why is it that your Metro with its tiny 1.0L motor gets 59 mpg average according to your gas log thing, yet can only get 57 mpg if you drive at 53-54 mph?

I might consider doing the wheel spoilers integrated with the belly pan, but other than that I probably won't be doing anymore mods to the body.

As for tires, its a shame that the tires that are...

Now up to 57.3 mpg at 60 mph in my 97 Saturn SC1

Gettin up there! Maybe I'll make it to 60 mpg when I finish aero mods and get my preheated fuel gizmo I built working. I wish I had lighter rims and tires, and a 98+ trans, but just too much money to...
