More meaningful information

Would a long test route / test duration get more meaningful information from a mpg gauge ?
With a 5% to 10% error rate , if doing longer runs with a car for A-B-A tested would help blend the noise into real mpg figures.
Or is a 1.5km run just as adequate of a distance to gather A-B-A test information with these mpg gauges ?
