Early Gift for Dad?
So while talking to my wife today about Christmas, she indicated that she was starting the holiday shopping early. This got me thinking. Perhaps it is never too early to start at least thinking about the holidays and what to get people in your lives. I figured I’d start with Dad as he’s a gadget fanatic and is always talking about fuel mileage and such.
I’ve gone and purchased Dad the ScanGauge II. This device hooks into your car’s OBDII port and shows the driver different statistics about their driving habits such as: fuel consumption and cost-per-mile.
But what really is the point of this device and why is it “green”? Most people drive their cars but don’t really learn to drive it efficiently. This tool helps give you a real-time idea of how much fuel you are consuming in those jack-rabbit starts or high-speed highway driving. Having that data available can help you understand how your driving actions translate into wasted fuel. Saving fuel sure is green and learning to do so is a good step.
Oh and did I say that this gadget also doubles as a diagnostic scan tool for those pesky check engine lights. Another money saving aspect of this tool. Give it a try!
