Simple plug and play. Just stick it where you think it looks best.

Easy as pie

The ecometer calculates mpg anytime the engine is running, including while idling. You can watch your avg mpg drop as you idle. It is very accurate-mine has always been within .7 mpg or so of calculating by the "pump method" at fill up. This is a long thread, but there are quite a few good points and mounting ideas mentioned here if you can work through it. Most everyone seems to be very satisfied with their ecometer. Hope this helps! R2 |

Today at fill up the ecometer was dead on! 35.3mpg was the ecometer reading, 35.323 was the calculated at pump. No DFCO, just lots of nuetral whenever possible, id say 20% highway rest city. I have yet to take the car on a long trip highway run. the longest iv done is 44 miles one way, got 44.52mpg that time. Car is still under 4k on the odo.

I love this thing btw! Definite improvement in MPG when you actually get to see real time how your driving habits change your mileage. Here's some pics where I mounted mine btw.

I just got a Simota SRI and was wondering if I would need to adjust the Ecometer?
If so, how would I change it? I have the instructions at home but I will be away for a while and would like to adjust it asap, if needed. Thanks in advance. |

Not sure how much the intake will change things. Next fill up compare pump calc to the ecometer. To get dialed in a little faster I figure the percent difference between the two and adjust accordingly.
I don't have my instructions in front of me but I did this not long ago. To adjust the ecometer unplug it from the obd port. Hold down the left button while plugging ecometer back in. If done properly you should see EFF on the meter. Then I believe you keep pressing the right button until the percentage you need is on the screen (they range from 60 to 140). Then press the left button when done to finalize the adjustment. I may have messed up which button scrolls through the numbers but that should hopefully get you in the right direction. R2 |

*post AFE intake update
before when i was on stock intake the ecometer was dead on with DFCO resulting into higher actual mpg then gauged, which makes sense. Now after the intake im seeing 10% over estimation, i thought the ECU would learn whats going on with the new intake, guess not.

Is this still worth it to everyone? I just want something where i can keep it plugged in, and whenever iturn the car on and go it will show me my instant MPG. Do i need to reset this or anything? When i get gas do i need to reset it?

If you leave it on instant MPG display, it would just display that all the time. I don't think you would never need to reset it. If you were having it display average MPG, it would be best to reset it after each fillup, but that only takes two clicks to do, so who cares.

More Update:
Cleaned the MAF sensor with MAF Cleaner, hopefully my mpg will improve and/or get the reading to match actual. The ecometer ONLY read wrong after my AFE intake.

Hmm, interesting idea. Is the MAF sensor cleaner just compressed air to blow the crap off it, or is it something specific that you get at the auto parts store? Do we have only that one MAF sensor by the intake, or is there more than one on the car that would be worth cleaning?

Hello all, I have recieved my eco meter today!
I just got back from testing it, and am afraid to say that im dissapointed in the product. Maybe the thing needs some settings adjusted in order to work better: I followed the instructions to get to the EEF i think it said, and it says to adjust it from 60-140 if its calculating too high. My eco meter was all over the place every second. going from 11 to 140 within one second. (mpg that is) So i set the EEF at 61. What is everyone elses set at? My other problem is: Whenever i have my foot on accel pedal the MPG seems fine. whenever i take it off it quickly zooms to 100+ and when i put my foot back on it takes my mpg up to 55-65. This seems very off. Also when I come to a complete stop the eco meter goes to 0 and stays there. This is wrong too from what I have been reading. What am i supposed to be setting this thing at? Is there something I am doing wrong? |

You have it set to instant MPG readouts... Read the manual more thoroughly.
When at a complete stop, you are getting zero MPG. Whatever you have read else where would be news to me...

I didn't read this thread all way through, but I really don't get it what it helps to buy this kind of "meters". Cars own monitor shows the same thing (mpg) or like here in Europe litres/100 kilometres.
What's the point when cars own computer shows the same thing? |

Okay so it shooting from 15 mpg to 140 is normal? I duno how to change my driving style if at every second its going from 20 mpg to 40, then to 70, then to 20. Its sort of odd. Shud I leave it on average MPG?
