As always, I checked real fuel consumption on a petrol station. I noticed 1% difference: computer shows lower by ~1% fuel consumption comparing to what I refueled.
Procedure:
I drive 33 km in both ways on a highway/motorway (16.5 in each direction). Energy consumption/economy in a city is measured in real-life traffic in Warsaw (Poland) in similar conditions: the same amount of heavy traffic, light traffic and quite similar average speed. If you have any question, just write in in the comment section :)
