In 4.5+ years and 65K I have only been aware of one regen with my 2015. And it was after the fact. I had just bought a new TT was taking to get the china bomb tires replaced with Goodyear Endurance tires. On a flat stretch for I-5 I was watching MPG with the EVIC and it was really low. On the way back I looked again and it was where I thought it should be. Later that day I came to the conclusion it had been in regen on the way to the tire store.
So I would say that unless they are monitoring regens on each truck on such a short test loop, there is no valid conclusion of MPG.
Lets put 30 gals of fuel in each with identical trailers and drive them West on I-10 from Phoenix and see which one runs out of fuel first. Good flat land test. Second test would be to head North out of Phoenix on I-17. These two test would give you some real world comparisons.
