On a trip last week of 3 1/2 hours north and return, she drove north and got 38 mpg. I drove back south and got 36 mpg. Yes, these are readouts from the car and calculated at the pump is usually 2 mpg less. But she is competitive and beat me on this drive...of course I like to think it's because of the southwest wind along the route.
My SO's Ultragauge is tuned just optimistically enough in our Fit that it shows numbers comparable to my K-Sight. Given her competitive nature, I find this actually has real world returns at the pump.
