Don't ever go by the digital display on there. Yeah its close indication but all it really is is a mathmatical equation.

Have you tried actually calculating out what you are getting?

To do the milage calculation all it is is the liters you use divided by the distance you travel. l/km.

as for the one the car does. it gets more complicated it uses readings from the 02 senors and everything else just about on the car.
