I have checked it and it comes out OK, everything here is original and the
tires are the recommended size.

Even 2% error sounds low, almost negligable.

I pretty much take the back roads and drive slow (under 60 American). Oh.
also burning biodiesel.
Maybe that's what Edward meant by "gentle".
This mileage is spectacular, I'm delighted with the economy.
