^^^^ Honesty I don't have a problem with the fill technique that was used. I used to check my fuel economy on every tank with my 2011 Ford, filling that same method, and got very consistant results. As long as you fill using the same method at the beginning and end of your trip there shouldn't be a problem with their method. But, I am surprised at the difference. If it had been the other way ... ie, if the Ford had burned 30% more fuel than Ram, there is a very good chance I would end up with a goat in my garage. I would at least be doing my own mpg check before buying.
I'm not sure that the fuel economy difference matters much when trading every couple of years....:B
If I had wanted better mileage I would have kept the 2001.5 RAM and the 29' Cardinal 5th wheel. To be truthful the 2015 gets much better than the toy we sold to by it.

Two B150 Cummins burned 3 GPH combined at 8 knots. Or 2.66 KPG or 3MPG.
