If I started posting the UG data, I'd look like a FE god without doing anything but changing my data source.
I see no reason not to use the more accurate information. Note the percentage difference for the miles if any then you can apply that to your old numbers for a more direct comparison.

Everyone has their favorites. Instantaneous FE, Load and GPH are some of what is on my first page. Instantaneous FE is the most watched for me.

Just my 2 cents...
Yep, the general forum is close, only the install seems to be open. Probably the Admin got tired of all the I can't get it to work posts. Wonder if the Android phone are taking a bite out of business.
