Thanks for the heads up.

Also curious on a few things.

When my engine is warm it's always 181 degrees Fahrenheit.

Is yours the same? Ever get 50MPG highway (completely flat).

I've noticed with my Scangauge II that even the SLIGHTEST incline I drop mpg, I can't believe how sensitive this thing is.

My engine temperature is always 186F. It never occurred to me that someone else's would be different.

During the warm months it is easy to get 50+ MPG on the highway. Just stick to 55 MPH rather than 58-60 and keep your tire pressures at least at max sidewall.

It sounds like you're off to a great start, but check out the stickies in this forum for some more efficiency tricks and ideas.
