Hi all -

Thought I would revive this thread since there seems to be a number of people here who are using the ScanGauge and are familiar with its operation.

I have been using one in my non-hybrid car since early Nov., and would like to use it to learn & evaluate the pulse & glide technique. As has been mentioned, the unit doesn't seem to recognize "key on, engine off" as a valid state, and seems to stop collecting & reporting fuel economy data within a few seconds of the ICE being shut off.

That said, I'm operating the unit in "fuel type = gas" mode. As another poster pointed out, there is a mode in the release I'm using where "fuel type = hybrid". Can anyone say whether this mode recognizes ICE off/key on? (Or what its differences are from "fuel type = gas"?)

I have e-mailed ScanGauge's Ron DeLong a couple of questions in the past, and he has always responded eventually. But I suspect that he has become MUCH busier in the past 2 months - word-of-mouth about the SG is all over the 'net now. Deservedly so, too; I've found it to be a fantastic tool.

I haven't e-mailed Ron on this question - thought I'd first put it to the collected wisdom found here.

cheers-
Darin
