Do you know the algorithm that the computer uses to track mileage? Is 
it tracking ***ulative mileage since the last reset, or does it use a 
moving window (mileage since last reset or for last "x" number of 
miles, whichever is less)?

What impressed me most was how consistent your averages are. It works 
out to something like 21.75 +/- 1.35 mpg. I have never been able to 
achieve that level of consistency with any of my vehicles.
