You can callibrate it. You first callibrate the distance, and then you can callibrate the MPG. Mine has been very accurate since I have done those. Measure your miles driven between each fill up and measure the UG against what you calculate yourself.

The only thing i dont trust is they say the Disco2 is a 25 gallon tank. But when i put gas in it when the light comes on if i push it i might at most have to put 21 gal. In. So thats says when the light comes on i have 5 gallons of gas left? Thats a lot for no gas shown on the gauge.

There is a 3gal reserve in the gas tank, it is a 25 gal tank.
I dont use the U-G for mpg, I use a app on my phone.

I also use an app on my phone, called Gas Cubby. I'm on iOS. Don't have an Ultra Gauge yet, but do intend on picking one up in the near future.

Mileage keeper, I have a iPhone.
I use it for my truck and the wifes van.
It also keeps track of how much you spent YTD and gallons bought YTD, very very depressing on that, dont even look at that part.
