13.9 unloaded calc VS 15.1 I can tell you that is a bunch of BS.
I recently did a 380 mile round trip PS CA to SanDiego CA and back. I filled to top each time. Truck said 15.3 my hand calc 15.13. My hand calc VS computer is at the most .4 low to right on. Never higher than computer. My odo is right on.
How did he do the fuel and re fuel? I guarantee not to the top each fill.
My truck is geared the same. So 15.1 IMHO for such a short drive is good.
These economy tests are a joke until they fill the truck to the top with truck setting in exactly the same spot on each end of the test.
The unloaded mileage mileage being off and loaded being close to the computer tells you how **** flawed his test system is.
It is possible the P O S CP4-2 pumped trucks are yielding less mileage than your 385/865 CP3 pumped truck.
