Saw this, don't work for , nor make money from the company/product, just thought it looked like an interesting implementation of the OBDII data.

Haven't tried it, so caveat emptor

Has anyone actually used this thing? One of my favorite things about my Scanguage II is watching my mileage, but I like the nice screen on this guy along with the different graphs to help you improve your efficiency.

It obviously doesn't have all of the diagnostic tools of the Scangauge but it looks like it can really help you to drive more efficiently.

Ditto... It's not like driving efficiently is rocket science. Don't press the pedal on the right down as far, and you'll use less gas...

Ouch MSRP is $299, plus with a nice color screen if it doesn't dim it will blind you at night.

Try to anticipate the need to slow down by letting of on the gas early rather than going straight for the brakes.
