I gotta tell allya'all* seeing people answer the question asked without straying off course is refreshing. I posed the same question on a Facebook page and for the most part, got some very useful and on target answers. However, there were those few whose reading comprehension skills prove they are not smarter than a 5th grader while trying to make you feel like a 5th grader. Here are a few of the things they pushed that did not remotely address the question of comparing the digital read-out to manual calculations.
-7th grade math lesson on how to calculate mpg
-manual calculation of just one tank is meaningless
including all of the variables of what effects tank level when filling up
-if you are worried about mpg, you shouldn't own a truck & 5th wheel
-If I had to think this issue I would just stay home and ride my bike,just saying
-Doing the math if you have a 36 gallon fuel tank math wisw it would be correct (I don't even remotely understand that one. What is wisw?)
Anyway, thanks for all the on topic responses.

Def really isn't that expensive and the oil changes are about 75% more than my last gasser. Still no big deal. Feeling my truck lean into a hill and not even break a sweat? Worth every penny. I am so glad I went with the Diesel Motor.
My unloaded freeway mileage is averaging around 18-19 mpg. Pulling I get 11.8 mpg pretty consistently. Most of my trips are short jaunts (175 miles) over to the coast so it is a mix of mountains and valleys for me.

Very good question. I have a 2019 GMC 3500HD Denali Duramax. The computer always shows better than real world by about .5mpg.
