Hello,

I got my SG II a couple of days ago, and the MPG is way too high -- it says I'm getting 56mpg, while I'm pretty sure it is actually 42-43mpg. And the miles left in tank says 530 miles (!!) while I know that it is probably 210-240 miles.

I set the tank size to 12 gallons (the manual says 11.9). Or, should this be set to the "working" size, which is ~10.5 gallons?

Also, the off position for the throttle on my Scion xA is 12 -- I had it set to 16 as per their recommendation, but I have lowered it to 15. Should I go lower?
