[Vwdiesel] Mileage meter

[dieseltdi at verizon.net]

The one I have is called Scangauge II if that is what is sold my JC  
Whipme then it will work with gas or diesel.  I have mine mounted with  
velcro on my steering column of my 04 Jetta PD TDI and connected to  
the data port.  I have it set for instantaneous mpg, average mpg,  
boost (manifold pressure). and a stetting to watch just how much fuel  
is being used at an one second.  Sure makes you watch how you drive.
