That got it fairly close.
Careful calibration did the rest - I'm currently at + 14.6% .

It's now accurate to within about 0.5L total fuel used on a tank (usually around 35-40L).

Tank average is accurate to to about 0.1 L/100km on a 5.0L/100km fuel consumption - it reads slightly high, but the distance reads 1% low
