Only flat roads so far here in Florida.
Blue Fire was just a lot of trial and error in the program. View attachment 936510
Our Bluefire Instant Fuel Economy text gauge works, though Average Fuel Economy does not. I haven't figured out how to get useful Trip readings either. I haven't researched how as yet, though I would prefer to configure my own gauges, or at least be able to see what data they are actually displaying—

Yeah, my Average Fuel Eco has to be calculated on my truck by resetting mileage and fill up volume manually.
Bit of a pita and I've had mixed results with it.

I never got Instant Fuel Eco to work. That's why I asked when I saw this. I was wondering if I had missed a step setting it up.
Everything else is talking to the ECU perfectly, so I know there's a solution in there somewhere.


I've been a little disappointed in that mileage was one of the main reasons I set up Bluefire.
Elsewise, it's an awesome little tool. So much info available.
I need to hunker down and sort it out. My truck is a C7, so all the telemetry is there..
And I need to run a little power cord to my tablet (it only lasts about 2 hrs per charge, but I was only using it around town for testing).

I haven't figured out the difference between Engine Torque and Engine Load either—
