[NSRCA-discussion] Off topic: Scangauge

[John Ferrell]

I bought one about 3 years ago for the Winnebago. It has helped me save a lot of fuel. A couple of non-recurrent "check engine" lights were non events after Google searching. Since it is quick & easy to move to another vehicle it is well worth the price.

  On the subject of oil/gas prices, I recently purchased this device, in the interest of learning how to save gas:  (and, I admit I am a gadget freak).

  I was getting about 26.5 mpg with my Nissan Frontier pickup driving to/from work and locally.  With the instant feedback I was getting from the above device, I learned how to change my driving habits, and on the last tank of gas I got 31.8 mpg.  I now get better gas mileage locally than I get on the highway.

  Obviously, the best way to save gas is to slow down. But I was learning when was the best time to shift gears (manual transmission) and which routes really save gas.

  Just thought I would share with the group.

    As far as hurting the price of oil, my heart bleeds.
     
    The price of oil is hurting our economy; many families are having a hard time paying for groceries because of oil. 
     
     Milk, meats, are 30% higher than last year.
     
    Let the oil companies hurt, badly I hope.
