SG & UG both fail to record distance while the key is in the ACC position & you're EOC. I've noticed a difference of about .3 miles during a 10 mile loop when I'm P&Ging w/EOC, v. driving the same loop with cruise control.

One difference is when the SG is in hybrid mode, it displays instantaneous mpg during EOC. The UG doesn't display impg during EOC, but does record trip and average mpg parameters.

Another difference is the UG doesn't display trip average mpg during the first minute of total time the ignition key is on after the trip is reset. Instead, it displays a fluctuating impg in the trip avg mpg display space for that first minute when the key is on.
