I will keep updating until I figure things out weekly...
Hold on here. The one caveat with the Ultragauge (and Scan Gauge) is that it won't accurately report fuel economy in Lean Burn mode. I believe these gauges base mpgs off air flow, not fuel flow, so they are way off when it runs lean.

This is my thread trying to figure out how far off it is:
