MPG on dash diff to MPG on trip comp?

Why is the MPG shown on the dash different to the one displayed on my trip computer on the iDrive?

On the dash it says 31 MPG but on the trip computer it states 36 MPG.

Mine is 3/4 over reading so far. They all seem to do it but you can re-calibrate it by doing this http://www.babybmw.net/howtos/how_to...alculation.pdf

Are they not resettable separately ?
If so then they are not showing MPG for the same mileage

I did do that just a while ago, drove about 15 miles and it is still off by 3 mpg.
