Or is he factoring that he only used 3 gallons of store diesel into his mpg calculation?
you should read the whole thread

i clearly differentiate MPG and MPGe



i get my oil for FREE and it is properly filtered and dewatered to 1 micron

that goes into an on board fuel system which has 2 more filters and 2 heating elements
(not counting the 3rd filter in the tank and the 3rd heating element being the engine)

Hawaii also rarely gets colder than 70F
