Which is odd, because we have identical vehicles, just 2 years apart (probably the same OBD-II program, maybe subtle differences).

As the interview mentioned, the difference is likely small. Pump readings vs. SG averages are now calibrated (10.2% difference) so I'm happy. If I want to know if fuel cut is active, I'll install an indicator or something (low-priority right now though).
