I too agree with Bailout

Hmm. How do you get your mpg. Do you take the amount of gas you fill your tank up to and take that number and divide it into the amount of miles you drove after your last fill up. I think that is the only accurate way to get your mpg average per fillup.

They get pretty high numbers on all the vehicles they test.

The best reliable way to calculate fuel mileage is at fill-up time. There are too many uncontrollable variables to rely on instantaneous readouts.
since the second tank I don't recall my SGII being more than .2 gallons off when I went to fill up. and I've logged almost 20,000 miles with it
