Garmin Pilot Fuel Burn Erroneous

When using the trip planning page on Garmin Pilot here's a typical result I'm seeing and for the life of me I can't figure out why. For an RV7 with data inputted correctly as far as I can tell:

DIS 116nm; ETE 0+47; REQ fuel 48 gal. Huh?

When viewing the same trip on the flight plan page: DIS 116; ETE 0+47; Speed 150kt; Initial Fuel 42 gal; Burn Rate 7.5 gph; REQ Fuel 90 gal. Huh? times two.

Anyone else having this issue?

Ideas?

I do not appear to be having this issue. Pilot (Android) updated for me a couple of days ago to ver. 5.1.0. Android or iOS?
 
No, I checked every setting. One possibility that crossed my mind was erroneous values for fuel used during taxi, etc., and a mistake there could be causing it.

And as for calling Garmin, I'll do that, but I wanted to query the users first.
