My overhead computer is pretty close in stock mode, but it does not see that much anymore. The computer reports 1/2 mpg higher at each power level I load from the Smarty, except it starts at about 2 mpg high on #1.

The weird thing on mine is, in the past it was always 2-3 MPG higher than hand calculated. However, every time I fill up, I reset the "lie-o-meter". For the past 4-5 fill ups it has been .2 MPG higher over my hand calculated figure. I'm not sure what happened but .2 MPG is close enough.
