One thing I found with five Ford/GM trucks on the road pulling for a living was not all those Fords or GM trucks in different year models would fill the same.
Some (Ford or GM) would take another 2-3 gallons after the first click off. Others maybe a squirt from the nozzle.
Going back to '58 I've owned three 2500/3500 Dodge/Cummins....I lost count but IMO around 13 GM trucks.....two Ford 350 DRW trucks. I'm not a fan boy of any truck brand but I agree TFL has a poor way of showing mpgs either pulling up the IKE or their mpg test run.
Short fill a single tank will usually result in better mpg numbers.
