The fuel cost per mile is about a wash so far but I will have the truck for about another 3 weeks so I collect more data. All of my trips are different but this one was fairly typical.
Just a observation.
Fuel costs per mile is best found using several tanks of fuel and use the average mpg for those tanks.
Computer mpg will vary between truck brands so I wouldn't even bother with what two different truck brand computer is saying about mpg issues.
When I had LDTs on the road I and my drivers kept a mileage log for each truck to keep us tuned to actual average fuel costs which could be broke down per week/month/same trip/yearly/etc.
