NotMyOldRedditName, 10 months ago Some people would probably complain if they had a 100mile trip up a mountain pass and it took more than 100 miles of energy. At least when you plan a route the % indicator takes that into account vs a plain estimation. My best trip once going up a pass was around 70km of the reading staying within 1 or 2km the entire time when going down it. But ya there's so many variables. But if they were fudging calculations that'd be bad.
