Ever changed your fuel log readings?
... after recalibration. I have never changed my numbers. I always report what the PUMP/ODO calculation reveals as FE. I do not rely on my Ultra Gauge. I do this because I have been confident that my ODO is better calibrated, even though I am sure it is not perfectly precise. But using google maps to calibrate the ODO I have found indications that it might be off by 0.2-0.4%. In a couple weeks I will test it using a longer, flatter google maps identified route, with no EOC. If you found, through such a test, that your ODO had been off, would you adjust your past and future ODO/PUMP FE calculations to correct the deviation?

My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
