This BS of fill til it clicks and wait then same is a joke. It takes a bit but you can fill to the top if you want.

I think this method is legit as long as you do it the same way every time.

Haven't you noticed different flows if someone else is filling on your island while you are also?

So you mean to tell me that another pump on the same island pumping fuel at two different locations is why these two Duramax trucks yielded impressive fuel economy results?

WOW, put words into my mouth!!! I never said a word about the results just the method of fueling. Remember reading and comprehension go together. :B

I gave you an example with a question of why it can't be accurate but you chose not to address my statement/question.

But yet your trying to disqualify these fuel economy tests from two different sources. So based on the fueling error you're claiming how much did it affect the reported fuel economy results?

IMO the error is in the noise.

Lot's of noise. Bottom line, fill to the top each time and it is exact.

Lol. You’re a carpenter, right? What you’re proposing is that, say, cutting 2x4 walers for concrete forms, it’s important to cut them to a light or strong 1/16” like if you were casing a window or cutting crown molding. A little too OCD for the importance of the results.
Not to mention that who cares if something gets 17.2 or 17.6 mpg there are greater environmental factors contributing to the mileage than + or - a half gallon or even a gallon of fuel in a 35-50galllon tank.

Have to agree , it's a bit OCD , when I used to run a bigger tire I even allowed for that 1/10 or whatever of a mile lost when calculating miles per gal. Then I woke up . :B
