Hey guys,

Just a quick question? Does anyone have the ScanGauge II installed in their current model Rav's. I have a 2008 2.4 CV and am thinking of getting one. Here is the link below:

As the Rav4 does not have a trip computer, I'm thinking of getting the ScanGauge as I'd like to monitor my fuel consumption a bit more. The CR-V comes with a trip computer and the Rav doesn't.

If anyone has this installed please let me know as the the Dealership was not very helpful and I called the ScanGauge people and they said that it works for the 2006 but they arer not sure of the 2008. From my understanding, the model's did not really change during that time. On their website it also says that it works on Rav's 2006 onwards but whrn I called them, they could not gaurantee this.

Hi all

I have had the ScanGauge II installed onto my 2009 RAV4, and previously on my 2007 model. Very informative information displayed eg Tank L/100km , Current trip L/100Km, Instaltaneous L/100Km, & distance to empty. All the above info is displayed on the one screen, & at the same time.

I think I get the worst fuel consumption on this board.

It averages 8.2L/100Km and when I fill up to full, the max i've seen on my range is 464Km. However that doesn't mean squat, because I remember I was able to get 500+ on that tank.

I drive from Balwyn to Port Melbourne and back everyday through the heart of the city which would also explain my high consumption.

On my last fill up the trip computer indicated an average of 6.9L/100Km for a total distance of 664Km using 48.37Litres. The distance to empty reading indicated 0km for the last 10km of the trip. Actual calculated average of 7.28L/100Km using the figures above. My vehicle is a 2008 Corolla Ascent Auto. My drive is from Essendon to Sandringham, with no freeway driving.

I have a couple of questions

1) With the distance to empty indicating 0Km with approx 10 litres remaining in the tank, can the trip computer be recalibrated to show more accurate figures.

2) The ave fuel consumption figure indicated by the computer of 6.9L/100Km compared to 7.28L/100Km calculated indicates approximately a 5.5% difference. Again can the trip computer be recalibrated to show more accurate figures.
