A 14% improvement and an extra 5 mpg from your previous high. Pretty good for the first post-gauge tank. That's a rate of about an extra 50-60 miles per tank, or maybe $5-$6 per tank. At this rate, in ten or twelve tanks, the UG pays for itself. But chances are you'll do even better in future.
Make sure to calibrate the fuel usage when you fill up. Just go into calibration fuel and set the fuel usage to what is shown on the pump. Once calibrated, if you keep returning to the same pump for fill-ups, you'll get less noise in the UG's data compared to the pump.
