Everytime the engine turns off in my 2022 Nissan pathfinder the timer continues and every 3.5 seconds on average the total fuel saved goes up by 1 mile. I know this because it has a timer that continues everytime the engine turns off. Currently it reads 13 minutes and 21 seconds off and 227 miles of fuel saved
How am I saving 1 mile worth of fuel every 3.5 seconds? I get 16.3 mpg and 18 mph on average after I’ve driven 2500 miles

Your Pathfinder burns between 0.4 and 0.8 gallons of gasoline per hour of idle. If you put that to ~~seconds~~ minutes that is 0.007-0.013 *and seconds that is 0.0001-0.0002*.
You burn about 0.613-0.056 gallons per mile driven *based on the economy you provided*.
You would have to not idle for nearly 9 minutes before you save a mile of fuel.
