Modern on-board computers tend to be rather accurate ... in normal driving.

Mine (in what is essentially a repackaged Focus) used to be accurate down to around 3% either way before I started hypermiling. Often it was spot-on.
Hypermiling, I'm seeing deviations of up to 10%, and it usually reads low.

It won't beat a well kept fuel log
