Unfortunately, no. The scangauge uses air flow and calculates fuel usage from that. If the car runs on a different fuel/air ratio, or like yours, a variable ratio, it will be incorrect. The problem is that the actual fuel injector information is not an OBD-II spec data point, so none of the carmakers report it.

Can you not measure the Bio as you fill it?
