Trip Computers

[TheMilkman]

Has anyone used either of these OBDII "trip computers"

Amazon.com: PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner: Automotive (PLX Kiwi MPG Trip Calculator and OBDII Scanner by PLX Devices)
or
Amazon.com: ScanGauge II 3-in-1 Compact Multifunction Vehicle… (ScanGauge II 3-in-1 Compact Multifunction Vehicle Computer)

I was thinking that the data could be very handy for the drive to VOI II and was wondering about anyone else's experiences.

I have ScanGauges in two of my "daily drivers". Easy instal and very helpful.

One nice thing is the way it monitors trips. Each day it starts a new "today" trip; each time the car is shut off for more than 4 minutes it starts a new "current" trip. Also does previous day' and parameters over the current tank of gas. In trip mode it monitors max speed, gas used, mpg, max rpm, time elapsed, distance to empty and I'm sure more that I'm forgetting now.

I installed one of mine with something called the Blendmount that mounts to the mirror post and holds the gauge above the inside mirror.
