how accurate is the tripmeter?

just wondering how accurate is the civic tripmeter

i use it to measure my gas milage and so far after 1.5years, i've been getting a very consistent 10L/100km (+/- 0.5L/100km)

10L/100km is pretty shiety. for an automatic civic coupe Si(usa EX), it's supposed to do 7.3L/100km city driving


does the civic DX civic calibrated exactly the same as the LX and Si/EX? the LX and Si/EX have larger tires than the DX, right?

its as accuracte as it can be. it will continue to be accurate unless you changes wheel/tire size in some way that it does not match up to stock specifications.
