I have used SG II till very recently, sold it just a week back to a Cochin guy (through T-bhp).
All I can say, is you can marginally increase the FE based on the output of the SG and adapting the same in your driving skills.
My FE went up by around 1KMPL after I started using SG. TPS (Throttle Position ) is one of the great feature in SG II along with LPH.
I hardly used it for 2 months, got the skills to increase the mileage, then the Novelty factor wore off quite soon.
Good thing was I imporved my driving skills in getting max FE.
SG e has KMPL display, which SG II didn't have (only LHK or MPG). X-gauge is also boon for adding your own custom gauges.
@7400 Rs, SG E is not worth, try getting from US directly (if any of your friends are coming down) as it retails to 99$.
Search OBD & scangauge thread in T-BHP, there are many more OBD tools for half the price.
Buy the SG.. if you really want to increase your mileage MARGINALLY.. forget buying it if you already know the hyper miling techniques. Else it would be just a novelty gadget, but displays some gauges (Volts, engine temp, RPM, intake temp)
....
You can post the same in the thread too.. if you feel like sharing this mail

Hi,
At the outset, let me thank you for the detailed PM and with your permission am posting it here as your post as this will help others too. I can't give a thanks courtsey as there's no option right now, anyways I owe you one
The reason behind buying this device is to closely monitor the real time FE in my car as its returning only 12-14Kpl in mixed conditions. I guess, I need to redefine my driving style in line with this car to get the possible best FE. I used to get better figures on other cars I've driven but on this its become a pain.
Yes am planning to buy it from Amazon.com and get it delivered by someone who can carry for me. This is my usual practice when I buy something from Amazon, it will be delivered at the carrier's door step. I know the duties and shipping costs will be almost double of the device cost which I can't afford to have.
Good to know that this can help you to improve the driving styles as its monitoring the different activities in real time and we can adopt the best driving style by seeing it.
Anyways am in the lookout for someone who can carry this for me from US. Any takers |
