Question Use of Scangauge with Vue Greenline (Vue Hybrid)

Hey guys,

I got a Scangauge for xmas and love the instantaneous mileage numbers.

But I have a big question about fuel usage while coasting or braking. The scangauge reads 0 fuel being used while braking or coasting, but the engine is running and the RPM is between 1 and 2k. Am I to believe that the engine is cycling without fuel during this time??

Also, I notice that the throttle position (TPOS) only goes up to 80 and never goes below something around 16 - or at least hasn't so far.

Also, any guidance or advice on using the gauge with the Vue GL would be very welcome. I look forward to tweaking my driving style to optimize my mileage!
