If MPG = 10 MPH then GPH = 0.1.

It seams to me a possibility that the ECU signal can't send a lowest value for GPH.

My lowest consumption in my scenic at a steady speed is 2.3L/100 at 70km/h, ie a 1.61L/h = 0.425GPH.
Since last oil change, my consumption while coasting in neutral at idle at 60km/h is 1.2L/100 ie a 0.72L/h = 0.19GPH.

The 61 could also be the lowest value for RPM.

Time to define an OBD3 ?
