It looks to me like you're extrapolating fuel consumption and distance from average mpg for guessed time at different % engine load, a very crude guesstimation of actual consumption, time, and distance.

The Scangauge II with performance upgrade allows us to log actual fuel consumption and distance every 0.4 seconds. No guesswork, no estimates. All you have to do is maintain the % engine load from speed A to speed B. See this thread.
