    Average MPG shown lower than real after tune

    I noticed that after the tune, the average MPG as shown in the driver information display is noticeably lower than real consumption (about 29 shown vs. 32 real). Before the tune, the displayed value was pretty accurate. Is this expected behaviour?

    Ok, thanks, I see. I was looking around in the forum, but couldn't find anything. I guess I am not using the ideal search terms. Any hint what to look for?
