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.
Ford for the win and the Cummins guy can't take it...
Ford made several changes to the turbo to make it more efficient. Nearly every 2020 owner I know is reporting from 1-3 mpg better than previous years and they have more power. 450HP 1050 LB FT of torque.
