dyerjg -- "Thanks," for the input...so far, you're the only 'user' to report that what I'm seeing isn't "normal." Knowing that it shouldn't be vs. proving it are two different things.

...now, if I can just find someone using one on a 2009 Vibe for specific confirmation (positive or negative). ...again, very little response from Auto Meter, so I'm making sure I've gathered all the facts that I can.

...just did my seventh tank-fillup(s):

tank#5 0.890= (0.90)*(34.3mpg/34.7MPG)
tank#6 0.905= (0.90)*(35.5mpg/35.3MPG)
tank#7 0.930= (0.90)*(36.9mpg/35.7MPG)

which (surprise, surprise) are all well within my acceptable 'tolerance.'

...I really, REALLY, would like to be able to recommend this thing, but just can't get enthused when only 1/4th of the functions work acceptably...although, for 'driver re-training' it's doing a darn good job...just wish the "other" 3/4ths would work well.
