Take that ScanGauge with a hefty pinch of salt.

Firstly make sure you get an English version otherwise you're MPG will be way off (due to reading in US Gallons), unless you're happy using mpl as the unit. If you're only looking at comparative measurements then it's OK. Also most of the other readings are pointless as they have no units ascribed to them. But it's a great OBDII code reader/re-setter

^^ This. I work out MPG via injector capacity plus duty cycle (a fudge factor is used as injectors don't get full/no flow instantly), air mass for a given power & gearing information. Where as those kind of things are reading the MPG off the ECU or by fuel usage & reported speed which come up with all kinds of weird numbers.
