Be prepared to be adjusting your "correction" factors when you enter your refill numbers, as well.

I set my trip odometer to the tank when I refill -- compare your "Tank" stats on the SG2 versus your fuel-up volume the next fill -- AND SG2 distance travelled on a tank vs. your trip odo. Bring a calculator, or have one on a phone, because the SG2 doesn't perfectly match how the TDIs meter out their fuel.

In my experience, this is especially the case, if you switch between 100% City vs 100% Highway tanks.
