What they are doing is NOT accurate. You can't see into these newer truck fill holes. There is a flapper down a bit.
They don't even stick the nozzle all the way into the hole all the time as this will make a difference when it shuts off.
YOUR truck I am sure you can look down into the hole and see the fuel just like my 98 and 01 RAM's are.
I can see the GM and Ford getting better mileage if their rpm's are lower than the RAM's at 70 as 4X said the Ford is.
Bottom line I sure would NOT buy a truck based on their VERY unreliable testing.
