I don't understand the math either. Assuming a 3000 miles one way trip, 6000 miles round trip. IF you average 10 MPG (to make the math easy), it will take 600 gallons.
At $3/gal, it will cost $1800
At $2.3/gal it will cost $1380. - a savings of $420 on the total trip.
Having said that, I put about 30k miles a year in my coach and an app called "Fuelbook" that was developed for truckers.

In our 2005 F350 dualie at 62mph 1900 rpm on cruise we got something like 21mpg and no one would believe me. Towing I don't remember but posted here I think a long long time ago. It might have been 8 mpg.
