Yeah, they seem to be pretty optimistic most of the time. You should probably figure it by hand occasionally to be sure. Of course, for that to be accurate you'll have to make sure you're odometer is correct, and that you get the fuel tank consistently full with a minimum of foam.

hold the button that looks like the enter key, it will reset everything in the DIC that is resetable
