    Mine isn't bad. It's off about 1 mile or maybe 2. I have talked to many people with theirs way off.

    That's normal. My lifetime offset is about 5.7% (tracked over 80,000 miles with my 2010).

    The sky's the limit. It's addictive ... just be glad you did it in a Gen III because with the Gen II, you were lucky if you could stuff 9.5 gallons in the tank's bladder
