Try filling slowly. Not just at the end, but from the very start of the fill. I find I get persistent bubbles in the tank if I start out fast. I fill slower than the lowest stop on the handle, so I have to hold it manually, but I get much more consistent fills this way.

I had a weekend drive to the next town.
84.2 mpg / 57 miles there
96.5 / 54 back

My tank is looking good at 93 mpg, 768 miles and just below 1/2.
