And what did you get going by the hand calculations?
Sorry, I have done enough hand calculations in many different vehicles to never beleive what that lie-o-meter says especially in Rams. I have had many friends tell me they get 20 mpg in their older diesel compared to the 16-17mpg I average in my newer diesel only to find out they were quoting their trucks lie-o-meter compared to my hand calculations. When they did do the hand calculations then they found out they were actually getting 14 mpg which is a far cry from 20mpg. Hell, even my Ram's lie-o-meter is always 2 mpg or more off and it is a new truck.
