The difficulty with this is LOD is an instantaneous gauge on the SG. It's difficult to get an accurate picture, since it fluctuates readily.

I wish those gauges were also "averaging" like the "trip" MPG function. Then you could reset the gauge as you pass a marker and record the average reading when you pass a second marker. Even with a short duration, it would be much more reliable data than trying to read instant figures.
