what % is your scan gauge set at ?

you will find that 38.1% is just about spot on

Hi Martin,

This is where the DP chip and the Steinbauer cause differences. Mine is sitting at 68% with the DP on setting 5. From memory without the DP it was about the 38%. If you change the setting on the DP you need to adjust the Scan

BTW it was spot on when I filled and reset so I have to say that it is working fine. And I calibrated the unit with a GPS to adjust the speed and distance offest.

As I mentioned the road is downhill from Sutton Forest to Ingleburn, so the car was hardly working to maintain 110kph.

When I drive home from work (at Perisher) the road drops about 800 metres over 25 ks so you are coasting most of the way (with a few ups and downs). The scan guage can be down in the 5's (for the current reading) compared to the 14 or so in the morning on the way to work. It is the average that is important. Round here I get around 11.

Cheers

David
