Instant Fuel Economy Bar
Can anyone with a ScanGuage track and see what each block on the Instant Fuel Economy represents? There are nine blocks when it is completely full.
Something like this... <5mpg-one block 5-10 -two blocks 10-15 - three blocks So on and on. I don't forsee getting a SG anytime soon, so I'd like to know this information to help with my driving technique. |

I don't think it is that simple. I have had a full block display with both the ICE on and during EV. During EV, you could be achieving 30 mpg, 50 mpg or almost any other number. Thus, each block could represent a different ratio/proportion of the overall Mpg.
It is so much better to obtain the Scangauge.:lightbulb |
Re: Instant Fuel Economy Bar
Well a full load of blocks would be 30+ or 40+. In EV mode it's obviously infinity

Re: Instant Fuel Economy Bar
Find a road where you can keep the bar graph stable and then reset your avg mpg display. I think that is pretty accurate, I have done it and if I remember correct about midway (maybe 1 block more) is 34-5. I try to keep mine in the middle or 1 above and if I do I get 34-5, the more I keep it above middle the higher my average climbs.

A rough estimate is about 6MPG/bar.

So if I floor it, I'm only getting 6mpg or less?:omg: |

Re: Instant Fuel Economy Bar
If you really must floor it, try putting it in N first :)
