Fuel Economy Calculation adjustment

Fuel Economy Calculation adjustment
Is there a way to adjust the fuel economy calculation? On the 2016 F150 5.0L I just traded in on this new 2022 1500 LTZ 5.3L you could adjust the MPG calculator in the trip meters on the cluster so if you calculated 20 MPG and it was reading 25MPG you could bump it down to your calculated real MPG. I don't see a way to do this and I can't find anything in the owners manual. This feature was listed in the F150 owners manual.
The 1500 LTZ I just purchased came with 22" wheels and tires. The trip meter was reading 16.4 MPG when I filled up and I calculated 14.2. I think the MPG reading you can turn on in the middle of the tach on my model doesn't read what the trip meter reads, I think it give the best MPG you have. Very confusing with all the MPG calculations on this thing. It was a couple gallons off every time I did it. I just installed some 18" Trail Boss wheels and tires and my first 200 mile test gave me a 16.67MPG calculated MPG and the trip computer gave me a 16.7MPG so that is just about perfect! I will have to do it a few more times but in case it is off I would like to be able to fine tune it.
