The MPG is pretty much dead nuts on my car, but I will do some digging and see if I can find any reason why it might differ dramatically in your case. One thing to note: When you fill up your car you are in essence calculating the total MPG that you get. This includes all the times you are not running the scantool and OBD software. If you are not monitoring at all times (e.g. when warming your car up on a cold day), I wouldn't expect the number shown in the software to exactly match what you see at the pump.
As far as your other problem. I have not noticed a problem with the trip reset but I will surely look into it.

I have been providing an install for those who contact me via PM with an email address.
So are you exploring making it a pay-for app?

I'm looking into it. In my experience with software there is a large time investment in providing a quality product that just works. This is especially true when interfacing with various types of hardware. My wife's patience seems to be growing very short with me spending my evenings working on my laptop

Got the chance to play around with it some this weekend. Looks like a pretty decent piece of work. Thanks again!

Mine's a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with a USB-based 327 clone off Ebay. Works like a charm.

i tried it on my dad's oldsmobile intrigue and my acura cl. both worked fine, but when i tried the app on my gf's chevrolet optra (suzuki forenza clone), the app couldn't read any sensors or DTC info. i actually have another program on my s60 phone, and it was able to read what it could (water temp, engine speed, etc). i will get the output log tomorrow.. but any idea why this is?
