...with 17 tank fillups under our belt, our average ACTUAL vs. DIC MPG reading ratio is 0.95 for our 1.4LT LTZ with A6 transmission.

...although the Eco's M6 transmission is different, the dashboard DIC display apparently are identical (except for Eco's additional INST.MPG display), so I'd suspect the article's DIC-derived MPG values are likewise about 1/0.95-percent TOO optimistic.
