Correction: Do you really expect accuracy from a gadget in a Toyota?

Is this going to turn into an unabashed Crapsler commercial? ;-)

Sorry I haven't answered this earlier, but I was travelling.

ISame experience with my 2003 Camry 4-cylinder XLE, which I bought last
March and now has about 4,900 miles on it. The displayed Average MPG is
always 20% to 30% higher then the actual. For example, after a recent
tank of gas the display said 32.9 mpg while the actual was 27.1 mpg
(380.6 miles; 14.0 gallons). That's 21% high.

I have been keeping pretty detailed record of the mileage. The
cumulative mileage (total miles since the car was new / total gallons)
is now around 20 mpg. Immediately after a fillup, the "Range" display is
always around 360 miles. Since the tank capacity is 18.5 gallons, that
computes to 19.5 mpg,; pretty close to the actual cum mileage.

I mentioned these errors to the service writer last week when I had the
oil changed. He claimed ignorance and said he would research the
problem. I'll call him tomorrow to see if he "found" anything!
