When you remove the battery it resets the DIC. I'd bet you're driving around town right now, vs. your normal commute which is probably a mixture. It takes time to reset, just chill. Also, hand calculated numbers are the only fuel mileage numbers that are accurate anyways. Miles driven divided by gallons burned (miles/gallons) will give you accurate #'s.
