When I fill I do the same thing every time to make sure I am filling to the same point as much as possible.
I have only ever posted what was the actual fuel mileage. Every car and truck, even similarly equipped will have somewhat different mileage. I dont worry about others I just post mine for comparisons sake and to share info.
