I have that same exact problem. The display shows about 2 to 3 mpg higher than what I calculate. I may start using my 1" boards and place them under the on the low side wheels on the passenger side. This might work better during a fill up. I notice my car always leans out from the pump and is not level. One night late I placed a long level down and it took a 1" board to make it level. I did the board thing for years with the '03 Corolla and the '06 Ford 500. I do remember getting some .3's and .5's difference in the readout vs the calculator.
My wife don't like placing the boards, but she does like this car being a fume burner compared to some the old carburated cars we had.
