How much calories walking REALLY burns?

My favourite exercise is walking :) I usually walk at 3mph and, since I found that mfp overstimates exercise calories in general, I used to log it at 2mph. It said I was burning 130 cals per hour

Today I tried to log it again and it says I only burn 65 cals per hour, I'm very confused. Have they changed it for it to be more accurate?

I've cheked other websites and they said I'd burn around 120 per hour, but Im still not sure. What do you think is closer to the real amount?

    Generally it is around 100 calories per mile on a flat surface. It will be a bit more or a bit less depending on the persons fitness level, size, age...
