    Anyone have any advice to someone that doesn't have a SGII (other than "get a SGII") how to get to SHM or WS just by using the HSI?

    For SHM without buying a ScanGauge, in order of increasing difficulty:
    (1) buy one of the competing engine monitors;
    (2) buy a Civic Hybrid, then read up on how to get and hold SHM by feel;
    (3) buy a Gen2 Prius, then read up on how to get and hold SHM by feel.
    Unless more has been learned since I quit being a regular at CMPG, I don't believe it is practical in a Gen3 Prius without instrumentation, and is of questionable utility even with instrumentation.
