If you always fill the tanks, or only calculate from fill-up to fill-up, then the gallons burned are the same as the gallons you bought.
Unless you're running heavy and need to cut weight any way you can, I've never understood the logic behind NOT topping off the tank whenever you've stopped for fuel. Time is money, and it's a waste of both making extra stops to buy a little here and a little there, especially when half the time you might end up behind the jackwad that's taking his 30. Just fill the tanks and be done with it.

Normally I do run between 1400 and 1600 rpm's on the big road. I'm not as concerned about mpg as many O/O's are, but the engine just feels better in that band of power train if I am applying any kind of throttle. -
