I did on mine both and compared... It is accurate, but again there are a lot of variables one can't account for. Weight being towed, shape of trailer (land sail versus open steel car trailer), headwind versus no headwind (mentioned), driving style (faster drivers versus slower drivers, frequent on the gas on the brakes versus consistent tow speed, etc), vehicle modifications (my dead stock truck with very light standard load 18 inch tires versus your lifted truck with possibly heavier larger wheels and tires, etc etc...
I do agree with you on what you are saying, but I also agree with what others (and myself) are saying. Like everything, the "it depends" statement is always a consideration.
