filled it up the first time. but i think i am wrong.

because the day after i bought the car, i brought it back for them to wash it. when i bought it i was in a hurry to go to work. well the crew takes lunch from 12-1p and i was done at 12 and had to be at work at 130p, so they told me to stop by the next day, so i did.

but i only put 10.3 gallons in it for the 525miles i drove
which is 50.9 mpg
the display read 38.9mpg.

but if i plug in the car lot to work, work to the one stop i made, and home then back to the lot it gives me 130 miles on google maps following the path i drove.
so if i subtract the 130 from my 525 miles = 395 miles / 10.3 gallons of gas.
gives me 38.3mpg.

so i think they gave me a few extra gallons.

should i log that or wait for the next tank?
