The other test we ran was with a Zenith built test instrument developed for Ford so the dealers could demonstrate the miles per gallon on Model A Ford cars. When that one was run they used a GPS for the miles. Miles per gallon = Miles divided by gallon used. Pretty basic math.

I wasn’t suggesting your post was inaccurate. I went on a tour and realistically I got about 17 miles per gallon. We all filled up at the same time including top up when we got home. In the group of 12, 9 were close to 17, 2 claimed 25 and one claimed 28. I didn’t argue the point because they were only fooling themselves. The same 28 per gallon person on the golf course gets very low scores.
