Skepticism of exceptionally high Scanguage numbers?

And now there will soon be a CAN protocol, isn't that right?

Whatever happened to the "Space Kom" MPG meter? I had one of these jewels on my earlier test vehicle(s), but I let it go with my last sale! Bad mood, I guess....Very bad decision on my part!
This MPG computer used a speed transducer...in series with the speedo cable, and a (gas)flow transducer...light activated, no moving parts!...spliced into the pre(I think)-fuel pump line. These two voltages generated were fed to a calc-circuit in the meter housing...to give a meter deflection. No averaging function...just simple MPG, 5 or 6 times a second!
I didn't agree with the calibration procedure...but it gave beautiful deltas if you were changing...hills, tires, loads, traffic, etc.! They're out-of-business, now. The co. that bought all the rights to this product / concept are also out-of-business! Too bad! (sniff!)
