I'm not getting 9.8 mpg - the thing is obviously not accurate. Even the stock lie-o-meters will vary w/driving conditions... not sure what this thing measures or if the chip screws it up. 'Stock' setting on chip (or any other) made no difference.

Even w/a minor boost leak, I can nail 25psi at will. Estimated 15-17mpg empty. I'll install the rest of my dieselsite boots when I go home to get them. Unfortunately they were shipped there automatically when they came in, and I am on the other side of the country.

It was an Scangauge II.
