Watch your gauge and see how many miles you go to that exact same level you mentioned in you original post. If my ASSumption is correct then you should have traveled considerably further if your fill was more complete.
If that is the case, get a foot long 2x4 and drive the wheel closest to the filler neck on the board to gain some elevation on that corner of the car. Fills should be come much more consistent.
And all that advice did na cost ye a dime LOL.

More great stuff!
I'm looking for my highest tank MPG ever, if the amount pumped yesterday was true (allowing for an ultra-full tank) and driving conditions permit. The variables are infinite … only time averages them out …
