fuel economy calculation
Posted by Tom Reingold (more from Tom Reingold) on Sat, 23 Sep 2000 01:05:58 
I recently got a 1995 9000 CS.  This is my third Saab.  My previous
9000's dashboard computer didn't work, so this is the first one that
works.

I have been resetting the fuel economy setting every time I fill the
tank.  And at the same time, I calculate my mileage with a calculator.
The car claims to be getting about 25, but my calculator says 24.  I
simply divide the number of miles over the number of gallons I
consume.  I realize that this is not necessarily accurate if I do it
once, but I do it every time, and the average economy is still less by
my calculator than by the car's self-claim.

Why the difference?
