OEM MPG Gauge Accuracy

Over at HondaInsightCentral, a common complaint is about the overstatement of mpg by the MID screen (that's what Honda calls the screen that displays all the information about how the engine and battery are operating, including instant and average mpg), compared to the value calculated at fillup time. I was wondering if that was a common problem for other cars. Do any cars come with builtin gauges that accurately display the average mpg for the tank?
