Having said that, your analysis is correct but how can the OP not want to brag about his new truck? While the 6.4 is a very capable gas engine, it is not in the diesel league and to compare is probably not really proving anything nor statistically meaningful.

If someone said they get 20+ mpg in a Cummins at the end of every tank, they just lost me as an audience and I pass everything else they said as ill placed satire.
I am of the opinion that a journalist shouldn't write to persuade someone to see their side, but rather tell people the facts and let them choose for themselves.
