It's almost impossible to get an accurate mpg reading on my "C", it is very hard to gas up to full each time.
I finally found out how to do this for our Ford E450 motorhome with it's 55 gallon tank. Fill it until the gas pump shuts OFF ... then dribble 5 more gallons into it.
Time after time after time our E450's 55 gallon tank has taken 5 more gallons after the pump tries to shut off. Of course filling up this way takes some patience on the part of any passengers you have waiting inside the motorhome! This method also gives you 45-55 more miles of cruising range - which is especially important when traveling in the West or boondocking with a lot of air conditioner usage. ;)
