Looks great. Much better display than Scangauge, but I see that the mpg reading is not better. Can you get special readings such as the o2 sensors?

Yes you can get O2 readings, MAF, any thing you want, if the ECU reads it it will display it.
I only use that page though.
If I were to calibrate it the MPG should show normal with the decimal, but I'm to lazy to do a proper calibration.

So that's what that thing is, I always wondered when I heard ultra gauge this, ultra gauge that. Where did you get it? How much? Is it just plug and play? Does the mpg mean you're just under 13?

Yes thats what that thing is. lol
I got it from UltraGauge Automotive Information Center and OBDII Scan Tool, it is $70, yes it is plug-n-play, it plugs into your OBDII port.
Yes according to the U-G over the last 10,227 miles I have averaged 12.98MPG.
It is off, it reads low on the MPG, according to the app on my phone I average 14.5mpg.
It has 8 pages of gauges and can scroll through them and you can program them with any info you want.
It also reads and clears the check engine light as well as pending codes and all of the live data you could want.

That's does it! I must have one! Now let me figure out where to put it on my pending items list.

Thanks for the info.

Mine reads a little low on the MPG too. I would say anywhere between 2-5mpg off vs calculating it on my phone.

I bet if we actually calibrated it it would be more accurate.

I have a P0158 code that pops up every 3-4 months, using the U-G I was able to see exactly what was wrong, bank 2 rear O2 is sitting at 1.20 volts and does not change, so it is toast.
