It's mostly due to different fuel "blends".
There are over 130 variations to the gasoline "recipe" in the U.S. alone.
There could be 'slight' variations from build to build.
Also test cars with more miles ( one with 100 miles will do slightly better than one with 10 miles, and 1000 miles will beat one with 100 ) will perform better due to being 'broken in'.

The ScanGauge version you want is 3.15. NOT 3.15* ( with astrisk does not give all the xGauges )

It would be cool if the seller could plug it in and verify.
I need one for a second car, but I want 3.15 only.
Post if someone finds out!
