    Have you considered this https://mygauges.com/store/scangaugekr instead of all those gauges?

    I would get the scangageD LONG before I even consider a KR.....If the ScangageD gave me pyro, I'd more likely consider it.

    And yes, I have looked at them. This past couple months, that's taken on a better liking to me. I like some of the features it has. But would still like the true mechanical gages.

    The one feature it has that really is peaking my interest is the ability to check and clear codes.

    Cheapest I have found so far.

    I do not pay IFTA, nor is it deducted from my settlements. The carrier I am signed onto pays my fuel taxes.

    here is a screen-shot of the page I where enter my fuel data. I put in gallons, ppg, trip number, discount (i never see this at pump so its always 0), and state. It spits back total and I look at pump to confirm it matches.

    MPG? What are MPG's?
    5.2 average with the Star.
    Now, before you all go in mad fits, consider that I am ALWAYS overweight when loaded, as well as 14' wide and 14'2" tall pulling an RGN. And I also dont run 55mph etc in a 75mph state. Curfews and daylight dictate how I run.

    here is the bulk of it. I also have 3.55 rears/50wt oil in them and tranny, bypass oil system on engine, waterless coolant zero-pressure system, the bigger 'Blue' flex pipes for CAC (all fittings double clamped), exhaust wrap, glassmatt-AGM low consumption batteries, no EGR/DPF, custom turbo-mapping for how I drive, +8 degree timing shift with hydraulic crank lag compensation. Engine runs extremely smooth. You have to look at tach. to shift it sometimes, hard to hear engine running unless in a pull.
