i will see it skip a GID and other times i will see maybe 3 GIDs "consumed" in say .3 or .4 miles when normally a GID lasts on average around .3 miles.
one thing for sure; the GIDs do not dissipate in a very orderly fashion. When i first got the meter, i tracked how long GIDs lasted and found using the odometer with a .1 mile resolution did not work well as GIDs lasted anywhere from .1 to .5 miles. the data i collected was so scattered i discarded it. even data like cruise controlled driving on the freeway was not consistent.
I have noticed a few times when i would gain GIDs when restarting like the other day (posted here somewhere) I had just hit LBW @ 48 GID when taking Son to appointment. After appointment, came out, started up and was at 52 GID but was back down to LBW within a half mile or so. the only reason i noticed this was because of the LBW. otherwise i rarely think to check the GIDs before turning off car
