Three times now, I've filled up and found I needed to add 30% more or less fuel than expected. This drastically messes up the MPG readings. I wish my Honda got 80mpg as it's now reading, but it's not really happening.

I've been resetting the ScanGauge II to defaults at the next fillup and starting over. I get fuel at several gas stations, so it's hard to pick one as being the problem.

Ideas?
