Default Re: ACTUAL MPG versus car's MPG ??

DJ,

Many members have been calculating both each time they fill up. For many cars, the display is about 1 MPG higher over a long period of time. However, this says little of which is more accurate. While your display's estimate is based on a few changeable variables, the gas gauge on the meter also has some room for error. Without precise, scientific measuring techniques, it's near impossible to figure out an _exact_ value.
