Downshift to 3rd, maintaining the same 45 mph speed - and thus the same power output to the wheels - and it will show that I'm burning 1.5 gph.
For my most recent tank (after two calibration changes), it read 10.0 gallons for the fillup, and I had pumped 9.977 gallons. So, yes it can be quite accurate -- the MPG reading was very close, too.
