Mpg is wrong

My trip says I used 16.8 gallons but I just filled up 18.6. How's that work?

Maybe it wasn't completely filled prior. Did you do calculations by hand. Have you been running the truck with out driving it? Do you have bigger tires?

Been discussed to death. Consumption is understated and MPG is overstated by 6-7%.
