Trip back from Cape Breton and a bunch of low speed round trips to work at the Airport. SG had reported 5.8 l/100Km - spot on for this cal setting. Reset SG Cal to -10.9% which was based on 34.4 l to fill up - very very close. Added 1 Km to bring the total up a touch.

Aug 17 2011

SG reported 6.4 l/100Km with a -11.1%cal. Adjusted cal to -10.9% because SG has been reporting too good fuel economy of late. Let's see if this helps. Added 1 Km to tank, actual was 691.8 Km.

SG reported 6.4 l/100Km. Very very dissapointed to find the calculated economy is only 6.9. It appears that the SG value is overly liberal (i.e. is reporting better than actual). Lots and lots of highway time. I'm also dissappointed that I only got 6.9 with all that highway driving at less than 105 KPH. Added 1 Km to distance to help reconcile total Km.
