Almost, the mileage is according to GPS rather than the turning of the wheels, but as long as you either work from one or the other, either one is fine.
Unless you have the new frequency BluToothV3.2 that is capable of assesing how much volatile liquid is within 900mm of the unit. Which can then determin, with some calibration, the fuel in the tank, your average MPG, your range and how much you will scatter if the fuel explodes. Or I could be talking utter crap
But, using the Garmin as a fule gauge does have some benefits when you are traveling. When the unit knows you are running low (based on your distance since you last filled up), it does put a little icon on-screen to find the closest fuel stations. Handy at times, and a little add-on to the functionality of the GPS (along with tracker, MPS, Phone & contacts, txt messaging depending on the phone)
