AFAIK the MPG is only calculated from miles traveled divided by fuel used,
as measured by fuel guage. Not sure how linear or accurate that is over the short haul. Mine is within 1mpg over a tank of gas.
I think a great experiment which I haven't had patience for, is to watch DTE reading, it should drop evenly as miles traveled increases (assuming you have DTE feature).
Personally I'm surprised my MPGs are accurate as after a fillup DTE reads ~550miles, I doubt I could get within a hundred miles of that.
DTE usually more reasonable as I approach empty but I don't tempt fate or stress my fuel pump.
I've seen small sample MPG readings as hi as 72mpgs.
Would love to know how many samples are kept, how often etc
