That's why I always do the math and calibrate the SGII. Go to More >> Fillup and update your values. The SGII is about 8-10% off right out of the box. Doing the math and updating the values keeps it accurate.

My SGII MPG readings are so variable, depending on TSP, LOD, etc, which are dependent on road slope and even wind direction. But I live in rolling hills and mountains so there is no straight and level to be had.

I stopped using that feature and do manual calc's.

I leave mine on FIA, MPG, AVG, and FWT for my four gauge options.
