Took a trip to the Deer camp this morning. Filled up on my way out, reset the full economy screen and drove to the Home Depot to pick up some stuff and then headed west on I10 and then back east on I10. Filled back up at the same pump with one click. Hand calculation 19.7 mpg and on board computer 19.6 mpg. This is why I don't hand calculate my fuel mileage anymore.
Wow, out of the 9 people that I know that have 2011-2014 PSD's, you are the first that told me they got above 18 mpg hand calculated. You might want to send that into Guinness book of world records or tell all those 6.7L PSD owners on Fuelly that are getting 14-15 mpg that they are doing it wrong. Hell even my brother who drives like a snail can't get that in his 2012.

Yes I read what you wrote, but that should be a given for a diesel owner so it is kind of a moot point since he is not actually filling up his tank. I am talking about when you actually fill your tank which slowly filling and pumping again after it clicks should be done every time. That is unless 4x4Ford is ignorant to this and I am giving him too much credit.
From all the people I see just filling to the first click at gas stations.... Many are ignorant to this fact. It is likely that some of them will read this thread and learn something new.
It doesn't help that gas stations are littered with signs warning everyone NOT to top off their tanks.
Anyone that knows anything about modern cars knows you should not overfill the tank! That is don't keep filling even after the pump clicks off. Fuel cam and will go back I to the EVAP system and mess up the charcoal canister and sensors! I know this for a fact. Yes you may be lucky and have had no issues, but there are far more that end up with problems! Think about expansion if there were no room for it!!
X2 on the damage!
Here in NJ no self serve. I got a "fill up" and the attendant kept clicking it to squeeze in the amount to round out the dollar amount.
About 60 seconds after I started the truck... CEL.
Cost me about $150 for the new part installed.
Diesel fuel foams so much when being pumped that not topping it off can leave it short of full by several gallons... There is absolutely NO harm in topping off a diesel truck. Diesel is basically oil which doesn't evaporate much at all. So there is no charcoal canister and it's associated plumbing to mess up when topped off.

Doesn't look like "DIESEL" to me.
I wasn't responding to your post anyways.
Ya gotta read the whole newspaper... Not just the headlines... Only then do you KNOW what is being talked about.

If you fill to the first shut off every time the overall average will be right...individual fills could be slightly off.
My brother and I both have 2016 platinums. We both fill at the same pump and his display is very close to exact. less than 1/2 of 1 percent error. This is the kind of accuracy I experienced with my 2011. My 2016 seems to be between 3 and 4 % off. It always takes less fuel to refill the tank than what the display indicates I've burned.
After accounting for the less fuel that Ive used my mileage is still not satisfactory. Last trip was 8.7 miles per US gallon ... round trip, 75 mph, 100" inch wide trailer, GCVW was 23400 lbs. The truck handles it like there is nothing back there on most hills but saying Ford together with fuel economy is an oxymoron as far as I'm concerned. My brother gets very similar mileage pulling his trailer which is the same width and height but about 2500 lbs lighter. I also have three brother in laws, each with 2015 F350 SRW Platinums and although it is very difficult to get any one of them to say a negative word about a Ford truck they all get similar milage to mine.
