Fuel Usage on the DIC is merely calculated estimatation. To obtain more accurate fuel usage, top off your fuel tank the same way every time (fill to the first nozzle shut off) then look at the meter on the pump. But I have to admit the DIC display is pretty close.

I'm one of those old fashioned guys. I base my refueling on the gas gauge. I have to admit that I never thought of checking how much I pumped against fuel used. Now, I'll have to change my routine and do that, which will mess up the status quo, cause a disturbance in the force, crack the dilithium crystals, and send me right into counseling!
