RE: Inaccuracies of computer:  have found mine to be close to dead 
accurate on MPG; have checked against hand calcs with odometer
and gallons pumped into car at fillup.  Odo/speedo are also very accurate;
this is with 205/60 tires (another check holding constant speed & 
measuring time to cover distance between mile markers on interstate,
and checking odo change over approx. 30-50 mile distance using markers.

If you are having problems with a new car, take it back to the dealer.  Shop
manual for my Coupe indicates there are a couple of calibration adjustments 
that can be done.  Do your own measurements & bring them into dealer so
he can (possibly) do adjustments.

I dearly love the computer I also understand and accept its inaccuracies.
(snip) 
 Of course you have to accept the inherent inaccuracies
in how it measures fuel flow, pressures, fuel remaining, and the like.  I
just use it as a trend indicator, once you live with it for a while you know
how to interpret its own peculiar version of "reality".

More than you asked for, but.....
