I know this might sound a little far fetched, but I currently am running low profile tires on my Aero and the stated speed on the speedometer is actually 5 - 7 mph faster than the actual speed depending on speed (I measured this against my portable GPS). So the gas mileage that I'm getting on the EDU is overstated by 7 mph / 70 mph or 10%. I know it doesn't count for full 15 %, but keep in mind that the other factor for the gas mileage is the distance travelled. You might want to check accuracy of your speedo (or tire size). I believe the EDU calculates mpg using fuel delivery rate and either speed or distance.
