Real FE Vs. Data shows, ScanGage2's Fuel used calibration, is right on for mostly in-town driving, but could use to be bumped up to the next step. The calibration steps are kinda large. Why I keep adjusting the FU Cal - me don't know???

I see a pattern in the graph, "Recent Fill-ups" (MPG Trend) - It's saw-tooth. It's a two-MPG deviation, with a 2-4 week period. Even though my driving pattern is somewhat repetitive? I don't know what it means??? Update1: I've figure it out. I take a drive out of town. This longer drive, at highway speeds, raises my FE.

CostCo Gas. ~75% in-town driving. ScanGage Data: 24.4 MPG, 13.0 gallons, and 320 Miles. Calibration has led to showing more higher MPG than low; Moved one step from 5.8% to 6.5% offset. I wish I had more granularity.

Adjusted ScanGage2 gallons (fuel) used, to better calibrate the unit (my actual Fuel used/ Fuel economy). I adjusted it from 5.8%, to the next available step of 6.5%. I wish I had more steps (in-between) to allow for better calibration.

I use all synthetic oils (mostly). Engine oil: SynPower 5w-20, (whatever is on sale, and is full synthetic) is changed every 7-9K miles (OA shows 9K is OK). Filter is an AmsOil EaO type, and is changed every third time (the OEM filter use, is spec'd to be only changed, every other time). Transmission oil (ATF): AmsOil Univ ATF, and is normally changed every 15K or so. A Magnefine in-line filter has been added (where OEM filter was), and is changed every 30K miles. PS fluid is OEM, and changed every 75K. Notes: EaO filter are spec'd for 25K (my use, ~8k x 3 = 24K) miles. I do all my own service. I get OA (Oil Analysis), as needed...

The good news: I got a job!!! And it's 7 miles from where I live!! I fill up only once a week (@24.5 MPG), apposed to 3 times a week (@ 29 MPG) with my last job!!! The bad news: It's up hill both ways, on the freeway (avg commute trip FE, MPG=24.5). I make 25% less money doing what I did 15 years ago, but making about the same per hour. The Health Insurance sucks (covers little/ high deductible), and no dental, or glasses, etc...
