The trick to setting the scangauge is to switch over to the metric mode because it is more precise (calculates in 1/10s).
Nice! I just borrowed a Garmin hand-held unit and did a short test: Garmin showed 6.50 miles when my calibrated Ultra Gauge showed 6.48. I'll do further testing of the calibration, across longer distances, this week, but it's exciting to see preliminary confirmation that "ridewithGPS.com" gave me pretty accurately measured routes with which to calibrate.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. 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.
