To be sort of precise, my spreadsheet says that 3 mpg is the standard
deviation. What's interesting is the standard deviation of the trip
computer's average mileage is less: 2. Maybe it's just chance, or maybe
it's because my calculated mileage assumes that the tank is equally full
at every fill-up.

I think the VIN plate at the driver's door mentions it, FWIW.
