Corrections and Retractions

I set my speedometer and fuel consumption display to metric to test a hypothesis. The mpg gauge pegs at 150mpg, but when I looked at the FCD in metric, it was sometimes 0L/100km, sometimes ~2L/100km, and at least as high as 4L/100km. I ran out of road before I could figure out exactly when it thinks I'm using fuel, but the gauge has been overreporting my fuel consumption, especially when my foot's on the throttle.
