    Ive gotten 9 miles to gallon with Century on a 500 detroit eastbound into Kansas on 70 provided the wind is blowing just so. On the sea we would call that FullnBye due to the angle the wind must hit trailer for a sail.

    My best 5 mile avg was 12.3, the conditions were simple. Idle in nuetral downgrade 9%, 3 mile straight run out. 2 mile ridge after so you can get back down below 140 plus without cooking your brakes.

    It's a modified scan gauge.

    I,bought one years ago cause I happen to,drink the kool-aid.

    But I've learned to use it to benefit me.

    Save your money, get a Scangauge D. The KR version just has a couple additional gauges that show profit per mile and some smoothing to the MPG read out. Its not worth the extra money for his name. The D version has everything you need, and you can send in your engine info to program additional gauges, like if you want to monitor your DPF pressures or tons of other things (Info is in the manual)
