Mileage
I just replaced my 2001 7.3 powerstroke with a new 2016 6.7 powerstroke 4X4 I know the 6.7 won't get the mileage that my old truck got but once it's broke in what kind of mileage are you 6.7 owners ...

Yes, that is correct, which is why my hand calculated varies from the the computer mileage; meaning my hand calculated mileage difference from the computer mileage is because the tank is never filled to the exact same amount each and every time a fill up. This is due to the fact that there are so many variables involved, it's pretty difficult to fill it to the same level each time (unless you had a sight glass on the tank).
This is what I was trying to convey in my original message, but my wording may not have been the best.
I did realize, after I posted, that I only talked about one side of the equation.
If one were to calculate after a number of fill ups, the error could be reduced to an insignificant number. For example if the error was as much as 1 gallon per any one fill up, the error would still be only 1 gallon after 10 fill ups.
