I've had II for 5 years and have appreiated very much. I use it mostly for MPG is on the road but is works as advertised for other data.

If Campng World's is the model II & the shipping is less than $10.00 it's at a good price.

Check this site to compare the different models before buying

I have had a Scan Gauge II for a few years now, have used it on three vehicles and like it allot!! Right now I monitor instant mpg,Engine temp,horse power percentage,Load on Engine. You can scroll thru and monitor anything that is available on OBD2.
Crazy thing is,, I have it on my 2012 Sliverado, but it wouldn't work on my 2008 Impala SS??Also works good to calculate MPG's but takes allot of input.. Have to enter info at every fuel up.

Another option is to use an OBDII Bluetooth adapter ($17) to send the data to your smartphone or tablet. Use the Android app 'Torque' to display the data. You could use your computer instead of phone if you want.

I use an Edge Insight CTS (color touch screen). I think it might be a bit more expensive that the SG, but it is very easy to program, accepts an egt sensor, and a back up camera. Very happy with it. FWIW.

Check out Ultraguage first. Larger read out. Half the price. I bought two. You can compare. Just Google it.

I have one, and use it mainly to check gas mileage. One has to be kind of a techno-nerd to program it with different functions, but it's doable. The graphics are also straight out of the mid 90's, but it works as advertised. Basic functions are easy to use. I can say that my mileage has increased significantly after watching it.
