Durring the two weeks I have used the Scan Gauge in my smart. I have been able to get a very detailed look at my commute. Information like average speed, and time have allowed me to explore new routes to find the most efficent one. Scan Gauge allows you to enter your fuel cost at fill-up, this gives you an accurate trip cost in dollars. A new feature of the Scan Gauge is called X-Gauge, this gives you the ability to enter a code to get additional vehicle specific information like current horsepower.    You can also customize the backlight with 63 possible colors. This makes it easy to change the color at will . I like using the red backlight, however it is easy to match the smart factory backlight color. You can order the scan gauge direcly from Scan Gauge at www.ScanGauge.com
