There are a lot of great things about this gauge. Although I have tried it on several hybrid and non hybrid cars, I have not tried it on a hybrid Accord yet.

A couple of caveats. Currently it cannot accomodate "lean-burn" calculations for mpg. This really matters more for cars like the Honda Insight.
Also, it currently cannot accomodate cars that run in Electric mode (like the Prius and Ford Escape hybrid can). I know Ron, the guy at ScanGauge, is more than willing to work on this if there is enough demand. If anyone in the Phoenix area has a Prius and wants to help out, they should give him a call.


Another thing. ScanGauge has a money back gaurantee (30 days I think?), so other than shipping, if it does not meet your needs, you can return it.

Mike, could you list out exactly which metrics show up on the readout for the Accord?
From your brief paragraph it sounds like gallons per hour and mpg (segment) work but what about the rest of the metrics.
