"Oh yeah, Excellent, right. If you would have let the ICE stay off that last 1/2 mile it would have been better. But no, you had to leave the engine running."

Re: Accuracy of mpg readings
I would prefer if it said Excellent only when the scale is fully lit to the max. Being anywhere else on the 3rd level should be "Good", and something rude and unkind for lesser levels.

Re: Accuracy of mpg readings
I've now filled up four times. That gives me three tanks where I filled up at the beginning and end of the tank (the dealership filled up the first time). When I fill up I just let the pump kick off and don't put in any extra. For all three tanks my measured mpg has consitantly been 0.5 - 1.0 mpg below the TCH's reading.
