When filed for ifta,my avg mpg came out to be only 6.7 for whole quarter.Its not too bad,but I do a lot of light loads,have tripac apu,so I dont idle at all.When started comparing dashboard computer numbers to actual pumped gallons,I realized that it is off by roughly 20%!Lets say since last full fill up comp shows I burned 178 gall,at the pump to fill'er full I'm ending up with 212 gallons.I didnt expect that thing to be super accurate,but to be off by a 1/5 -thats a lot. Anyways,does it mean I need all actuators replaced?

If it has custom tuning, it could throw it off by a lot. the brain butcher shops are known for making more fuel and the computer does not know it. it makes dash read high.

the ones that brag about giving 2 or 3 mpg more are the worst for this.
