Unless you have already done this I would take your results with quite a huge pinch of salt, out of the box Torque was under reading by 25% for me. Reading on the internet large variances are not uncommon in this app.

TBH no instrument works well at all, the instant feedback is all you can rely on to see if you are improving or not.
When I used the SG2 on my Aygo in town driving it would be .1 gallons (imp) off at the worst and a lot of times dead on. When I ended up doing motorway (i.e. high speed) it was almost 1.5 gallons out. When I adjusted it for that it was 1.5 gallons out the other way when I switched back to town driving.
That tapped I'm having fun just now with the SG2 vs the on board display on my A6 Vs real tank to tank. The OBD is always optimistic for my daily MPG. However MPG2 (tank) is pretty much dead on. The SG2 is inside .3 gallons at fillup time but it's MPG is different.
I've kind of given up, and I use the SG2 MPG/AVG values to check whether I am getting better or worse on a trip and use the on board display to check the range remaining.
