I used this trick on my VX for remakably consistent fills and found that it also works in my Sentra. Drop the 2x4 in front of the rear wheel, drive the wheel on top of the 2x4, then fill. Back up and pick up the 2x4 after you fill and keep it under the front seat between fills. If you don't want to waste fuel backing up, put it in neutral and push the car back with your foot.

When I first got the Sentra, it would not even fill to the full mark on the gauge. Last tank I got 60 miles on the tank before the gauge dropped below the full mark. I let the pump run on low speed until it cuts off, lift the rear wheel well and let it "burp" then one more top off until it cuts off again.
