I mean 1%. Call it 2% if you want.

40.8 mpg = 5.765 l/100km
43.5 mpg = 5.407 l/100km

40.8 x 1.066 = 43.49
Using "normal" numbers, the distances reported per gallon are close enough to 1.06% off to use that as a number.

5.407 x 1.066 = 5.763
Translating into metric and working backwards, the amount of gas used to travel 100 km are also close enough to 1.06% apart.

Those numbers are close enough that I'd call the UltraGauge calibrated and move on with my life.
