Check it over time. The manual wants you to roll against mile markers and says the more (and the straighter) the merrier. It mentions 3 miles. Riiiight. If I'm calculating the mileage with my odometer, I'm going to calibrate the UG to the odometer. The current calibration used a little over half a tank. A little over a half a tank later, the UG is reporting 0.5 miles and 1.5 mpg more than the car. I'll refine it over the next few tanks and then I'll be really happy with it.
