Mileage is variable depending on how YOU drive.
What kind of driving...highway or city.
Where you drive sea level, mountains, up hills, towing, hauling loads.
Between fillups notice the load in your truck.
Fill up the tank (up the filler neck until you can see fuel)
Fuel pumps will shut off at different fuel levels and due
to back pressure in your tank so you need to SEE the fuel
level.
The fuel tank filler pipe can hold at least a gallon of fuel.
Divide the number of miles you have driven by the number of gallons
of fuel used in the next fill up doing it the SAME WAY you did at the
previous fill up.
Your mileage will vary greatly, especially under heavy loads or towing trailers
up hills.
Also, if you have a heavy foot when taking off from stops you will
use excessive fuel.
Timing your speed between stop lights so you can roll through them
without stopping will greatly improve your mileage.
Driving no faster than 60 mph on highways will also improve your
mileage as your truck is not battling the wind resistance.
I know this from driving a Dodge van and a motorcycle for many years.
Using cruise control will also improve mileage.
