    i picked up this little guy about 6 months ago after seeing it on a commercial, and just going on a whim to see it there was a cheaper alternative to the scangauge II's out there, when i picked this one up, i paid $39.95 for it, now its at $59.95 after rebate, they have a great forum, and tech support, nice size, somewhat easy to operate


    WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE ULTRA-GAUGE?

    WHAT KIND OF CALIBRATION IS INVOLVED?

    With the Ford Ranger, there is no fuel sensor (to my knowledge). We have a float attached to a sending unit that measures based on height of fuel in the tank. SOOOOO the UG has to be calibrated. You have two calibrations you can perform. One is distance and the other MPGs.

    This should give you a basic understanding of the Ultra-Gauge.

    Highly recommend this product! Great way to keep track of MPG's and other vehicle stats. And instead of 2 thumbs up, I'll go Clinton style and give it a 5 out of 5 on the mooseknuckle chart!
