A question I have is... once calibrated how long would the UG mileage gauge become. Because when I calibrate it now I see variation tank to tank as to how close to spot-on it is relative to the ODO. Maybe EOC messes with the UG's numbers a little, on the margins. Probably the only answer is an MPGuino, huh?

Early in 2011 I got an MPGuino, andin April competed in the 2011 Green Grand Prix (GGP). Planning for that event, I borrowed a GPS so I could calibrate the MPGuino as precisely as possible. I had about a 300 mile drive up to the GGP which gave me plenty mileage to compare the trip odometer with the GPS. I dialed in the MPGuino so it was now very closely matched to the GPS data, and subsequent driving with the GPS showed that calibration to be consistent.
From the point where I first calibrated the MPGuino based on the GPS, I used the Guino numbers in my gas log. When I later changed tires I tested it again and made an adjustment to the Guino setting to match the other tires.
