If you don't clear SID very often then mpg in SID will not vary much. Let's say you go three tank fills (12 gallons each time) for 360 miles. That's a total of 36 gallons for 1080 miles equals 30 mpg (I chose easy numbers). Then let's say you sit in traffic for 1/2 hour or more and use a half gallon but no miles traveled. The new mpg will be 1080 / 37.5 = 29.6 mpg. Not a big change & I doubt you would use a half gallon in 30 minutes idling. Unless you clear the SID mpg often, you will not see much variation in average mpg - if you have a SID 3 with instant mpg, then you will see the variatin on that display. SOrry if I have not clarified the matter for you.
