In fact neither me, my wife or anyone else I personally know has ever had their lie-o-meter accurate within 1 mpg more than 15% of the time. The only time it has been close for me is on long trips with a few stop/starts in between, but the more I start/stop the vehicle the more it is off. It's almost as if these manufacturers just need to subtract 2 mpg from whatever formula or algorithm they get their mph numbers from.
My 2012 RAM is always within 1 mpg (usually less) if I stay out of my auxiliary tank.
My Cayman is dead on. Yukon isn’t close.
Depends on the vehicle but I still hand calculate and record every tank. Not sure why as it really doesn’t make any difference once you own the car.
I use an app to record mine so it only takes a few seconds of inputting the mileage and the volume of fuel used. The app does the rest. I generally fill out the lie-o-meter mileage, the cost per gallon, and brand while I am waiting. I started doing it for taxes, but it has become a habit.
