Here's a dumb question: how do you guys check mileage?

Thanks in advance!
Don't believe in any chips that advertise any gains.

Checking mileage: Fill full tank until the pump clicks and stops. Do not top off. Reset the trip odometer right there.

Drive as long as you can before filling up. If possible, run as low as you can, that will give more accurate numbers.

Fill up full thank again until the pump clicks and shuts off. Divide the mileage on your trip odometer by the number of gallons that you just put in the truck.

The result is your miles per gallon.
