Terry, if the odo reads 2% high, then that will make the mpg 2% high before you get the "amount of fuel" error. As I understand it, the amount of fuel is the amount the ecu tells the injectors to send in. If the injectors have a tolerance, then this will affect the amount of fuel actually used. The programmer will know the tolerance, and will (naturally) err on the optimistic side.
