I've been using a ScanGauge II for about a month now with my 2010 FJ Cruiser and I'm happy with it. Paid 160 for it and hooked it up in about 15 minutes. Mounted it right above the steering column. I'm displaying MPG, water temp, intake air temp and average mpg. I got it to help figure out why I was getting poor gas mileage and it helped me diagnose that the coolant temperature was not getting up to full temperature, indicating that the thermostat was not closing completely. I went out and bought a new factory thermostat and got my gas mileage back up to a much better MPG. So right there the ScanGauge paid for itself. Using the realtime mpg, it also helped me figure out that my driving style was hurting my mileage considerably. So a slight adjustment in throttle use gave me at least another 2 mpg. This thing does so much. I haven't even begun to tap into it's potential. Highly recommended and cheap!
