Do all that and fill at closer to empty 9 or 10 gallons used, and you'll reduce data noise and make it easier to figure out what's happening.

I edited my post above about the questions with the pump. Anyway, yea I always stop on the first click and the pump I go to naturally pumps really slow, it's why I always go to that pump specifically. I got laughed at time before last I went to fill, because someone was at that pump so I parked behind them, turned off my engine, waiting for them to finish then pushed my car into the spot LOL.
I think the damage to the front end might be at fault as well, tbh. The hood isn't sitting flush by a long shot (about a 1/4-1/2 inch gap) so I'm thinking that's killing me as well. When I get paid on Friday I plan on buying 2.5" lawn edging for a air dam, and I'm gonna take my car to a body shop and ask them how much it will cost to bend the front end back into place.
Oh also, last but not least, UG said I got 42.6mpg that trip.
