I'd base my MPG more off of my mileage and what I've put on the car since the last tank up. Do that a few times and you'll have a good idea of what you're actually getting. I never trust the onboard computer ones because of the different things they factor in. I once got 80mpg in a 91 Dodge Caravan.

yeah there's nothing as accurate as doing the calculations yourself

I wonder what the computer tells you when you're going down the hill in neutral... You know, when you're doing 70 mph with 700 RPM.
