I think that's good enough info. If u think about it different things will
Change that constantly such as. Are u driving on inclines. Making more left
Turns.
Are there more impuritities in this weeks batch of gas vs last week.
City vs highway ratios will change.

I don't think you understand... He's not saying that the MPG varies from tank to tank (which, as you point out, it will), he's saying that if he manually computes the MPG it will be different from what the car's computer says the MPG is for the same tank of gas.
