A Gas Saving Device That Really Works
If you haven’t already figured this out, I’m naturally very suspicious of products that claim to “increase gas mileage” by installing a “device” on your car that performs some kind of black magic that we mortal humans are not to understand - just send in that $49.95 and keep your fingers crossed. Of course, there is no scientific background for most of these devices, and I’ve reviewed a couple of them in detail right here, including the “run your car on water” scams. Imagine my surprise when I read about a device that can actually help you save at the gas pump - not by modifying your car, but by “modifying” you, er, ahem, meaning helping you change your driving habits to get more mpg from your car.
The Scangauge II is basically a small computer that connects to your car’s OBD II computer (relax - complete instructions are included and the connection is a plug-in) and acts as a readout for the car’s main computer. The real beauty of this device is that it merely displays information that your car’s computer already processes without modifying anything at all. ScanGauge will display;
- Fuel Economy
- Fuel Rate
- Battery Voltage
- Coolant Temperature
- Engine Speed
- Vehicle Speed
- Many more trip and diagnostic functions
You can instantaneously see your gas mileage and vary your driving habits as you go - creating new, better habits while you save. You can also input the cost of gasoline and ScanGauge will calculate the cost as you drive
See the ScanGauge at Amazon for more details and the best price.
In my humble opinion, the ScanGauge is about the only device that actually has the ability to save you money at the gas pump - by helping you create good driving habits, and not by modifying your car in any way.

Hi, this is a best article One of the essential parts of your vehicle is the water pump. It is that part that pumps the coolant throughout the entire cooling system.
There is a gadget that will not reduce your gas mileage but if you have a business it will help you deduct 58.5 cents per mile. This gadget can be found at http://www.mileagelogger.com and it logs your mileage automatically, no need for pen and paper. IRS just increased the mileage rate from 50.5 to 58.5 cents per mile so you can deduct more money for your business.

While your logger may not help you save money on gas, it may help you collect all of the mileage reimbursement due you for your driving. That fits the bill here - saves you money in the end and is not a scam! Thanks for the comment.
