This may also help: calibrate - Google Search

Give a man an answer, he learns for a day. Teach a man to search, he learns for a lifetime.

It's most definitely because it is not set up. Mine is always off in the Mustang because I EOC, but it is LESS than right. I often check it, knowing I will get better than that. There are settings for it, but I like to see how far I EOC. The easiest advice is to set it up correctly, and then keep correcting it at each fill up.
I set the SG up exactly the way the instructions (that came with it) suggested.
