Just an update on some MPGs but more on the truck numbers VS calculator and manually checking it.
I kept up on 5 different fill ups. I wrote down what the truck said I got, gallons used and miles driven. I then averaged out all the data collected over the 5 fill ups.
1. Total miles driven= 1,037.7
2. Total gallons purchased=53.02
3. Average MPGs from 5 events estimated by truck=20.74
4. Average MPGs calculated manually and calculator= 20.06
Difference from manual calculations and truck calculations= +0.68 MPGs
The the truck system was just a hair over 1/2 MPG higher than actual manual calculations.
Think I am just fine with relaying on the truck numbers!
I also did this on my 2018 Eco Boost and got very similar numbers.
