Gas mileage correction

On my last truck, I did a procedure that adjusted the mpg calculations.
Can someone point me in the direction?

It does take several tanks to adjust so give it some time. If after a while (4-6 tank fulls) it's still off make another small adjustment.

Thank you, I bought a courtesy demo, (2021 Velocity Blue FX2) it's got 2500 miles and I think it's optimistic on the fuel.

Thanks

The factory setting is 1000, mine is now set to 937 and is very close between the calculated and indicated.
When trying to check gas mileage, I find that filling up at the same pump makes a big diffierence. Seems different pumps can shut off at different levels.

If you try for perfect you will be chasing your tail. So many variables that you cant control, temp of gas before and after filling, the accuracy of the pump gauge, the mix of the gas out of the supply truck/pipeline, month of the year, etc. I gave up on perfect and left it 943. Your results will vary. Also your speedometer is off also. The faster you go the diameter of your tires grow from centrifugal force. That changes your final drive ratio. Also drivers that are complaining round down, and drivers who are bragging round up.
