The best mid-size truck for 2019? Honda!
2019 mid-sized test There is a lot to like about each one but also a lot to not like. None of them make me want to trade in my 2008 Ranger for running errands around town. A big chunk of that is...

Not sure why you have such a knot in your knickers... hope you feel better soon.
My reported milage is supported by fuel pump/calculator numbers. By driving intelligently {operative word here being "gently"} it is no problem to get the higher end of the mileage spectrum.
Over the last 6+ years and 51,000+ miles I have gotten 9.5 mpg out of our 2012 V-10 5 speed Torque Shift 24' Nexus Phantom 23 P Class C which includes a small amount {84 hours} of generator time.
Disbelieve as you see fit but proper maintenance and an educated right foot can easily bring the mileage I am experiencing.
If you cannot get similar mileage I can only suggest you try harder.

I know how to get better mileage out of a vehicles. I consistently get better combined mileage than out of my 328d than the EPA 43 mph highway mileage. However, I am stating that you have to take what the computer states with a grain of salt and if those are the numbers you are quoting then I would have to take what you are stating with a grain of salt. It is even less accurate over multiple tanks on a trip computer.
Case in point is my BMW 328d commuter car. The orange line below is the computer and the blue line is calculated. As you can see, they vary wildly and can be anywhere between 1-3 mpg off. My trip computer over multiple f-ll-ups is generally off by 2-4 mpg.
Based on other Honda Ridgeline owners reporting the same inconsistencies in the link I posted earlier, I have a hard time believing that your's is the only one in the world is dead nuts accurate. So you can continue to post what the computers says, I just won't believe it, and I am sure you don't care if I believe it or not so we can leave it at that.
