The CURRENT trip is restarted after the
engine has been off for more than 3 minutes. The TODAY trip is restarted
after the vehicle has not moved for 9 hours. The data from TODAY is
moved to PREVIOUS DAY when it is restarted. This way, you don't have
to reset the trip computers when you start a trip. There is also a
TANK Trip which you reset when you fill up the tank. It can provide
you with "to empty" data as well as other useful information. The
information is available anytime during the trip. The CURRENT trip
can be reset. This is useful for making fuel economy measurements
at a steady speed.
The GAUGE mode can display instantaneous fuel economy, but small variations
in throttle, terrain or even wind will cause this to wander around
some. The CURRENT trip computer and its RESET capability can smooth
this out over a longer distance. A demonstration of how to do this
can be chosen below.
The TRIP modes in the ScanGauge II can be used to save gas. Improved
driving habits can improve fuel economy by up to 30% according to
a US Government source. The ScanGauge II lets you try different driving
techniques and routes and gives quick feedback on how they affect
fuel use.
