Actually it should be possible to accurately compute the mpg even with idling and stops. It would do that by dividing the accumulated miles by the accumulated fuel usage. If you are just sitting idling, the fuel flow continues, but the miles are not accumulating. So it should divide whatever the total miles is at that point by the accumulated fuel usage as it continues. But car companies probably bias these mpg computations to be optimistic.
