Yup, rounding evens out over time. I use the details section mostly to have all the information in one (ethereal) place. I keep these little notebooks in my car that, once filled up, inevitably dissappear into my bags 'O crap.
If I were you (and I'm not), I would record the MPG on the forum in some way. If I split it into a "Cara at Work" fuel log, I would try to roughly figure out my hauling load for that tank and keep it in the details section. In that way I would have a rough way to calculate the fuel efficiency of the "work" that my car is doing.
On a similar note, I re-purposed one of my Trip Logs to be a repair and/or mod log. That way, in theory, I can correlate changes to the car to changes in MPG.
