A true TRUE nerd knows about significant digits.

Tank fill up accuracy: gauge is real MPG + 2.0 mpg (true mean calculated from distance traveled vs gallons added). The std dev is 2.3 mpg (tracked over ~42k miles of fill ups).

It really has too many decimal places... the only thing the tenths column is good for is tracking rate of change. The instantaneous has it right... 5mpg increment blocks.
