Just talked to Phil - he did a short fill today (13.4 L / 3.5 US gal.), revealing the gauge needs a +10% fuel use adjustment to bring it in line with reality.

This is the same offset my own calcs revealed (though mine was also a small fill). One more fill-up before I adjust the numbers in the graphs.
