I'm not disputing that,I'm trying to tell you what 40 odd years of in and out of the motor trade taught me about the readout and anyone relying on it needs to know it's not accurate enough to trust.

Have you never experienced the range go from 120 miles to 60 in the space of about a mile simply because you left free moving traffic to crawler traffic? sometimes it's an overnight thing, you'll park with a range of 90 miles and by the end of the road it's dropped to 40 but it's still showing your glorious 55 mpg on the cluster.
