With all this talk about fuel mileage I just realized that most people don't have an accurate way to measure their fuel mileage. For the past several months I have been using an awesome tool called the ScanGuage II to help me maximize my fuel mileage. The ScanGuage II plugs into your vehicle ODBII which all vehicles manufactured since 1996 are required to have. The OBDII port is usually under the dash on the drivers side or on the firewall behind the dash on the drivers side of the vehicle.
The ScanGuageII has two main functions for gas mileage, the first is the instant economy gauge that will show you what your fuel mileage is at any instant. This can help you notice any driving habits you have that may be causing some fuel economy issues. The second feature is a robust trip computer that can show you the distance of your trip how much fuel you used, your average fuel economy, the distance left until empty, and the amount of fuel remaining.
I have now purchased two of these wonderful products and I have found the best place to get them is through the following online store, Scanguage. If you have any questions feel free to leave a comment.

That sounds really cool. I will look into Scanguage. Another tool I started using is a simple program I downloaded called Gasdandy. (http://www.gasdandy.com) I found it just before I took a trip and it was fantastic, I could see how I did on every tank of gas.
GasDandy actually seems pretty lame. You just type the results of your gas receipt and mileage into a program or website (doesn't seem clear which is which) and it gives you a ton of information. The Scanguage II is looks a lot more awesome and useful.
Both are good tools, and have different advantages.
