    Google "Scangauge DFCO". Looks like this topic has been discussed on a few other forums...and the Scangauge anomaly with DFCO seems to be a known limitation with the device.

    Great idea. I wonder if your Fluke would capture Min/Max/Avg for this? I like how the dial labeling is worn off!

    Also, I wonder if there is a way to log this through the OBDII port. Hm...

    I'm not sure it's just ScanGauge because my OBDLink LX does it too, which makes me think it's related to how the onboard ECU monitors things. I also relate this to a greater error between my calculated MPG and what my MID B registered for my last tank. I'll get another chance to check this on my next fill-up.
