About the only way to be reasonably accurate with short fills is to top off the tank. I always fill the tank until gas is visible in the filler neck and my mileage still varies by a few MPG sometimes but there's going to be a certain amount if variation from tank to tank simply because of weather, terrain, etc. In most cases with my Versa I can get between 1-2 gallons in after the first click. On the Escort it's probably at least 2 gallons. Things like pumping speed can effect when the pump will click off. At the station I use I've noticed that the pumps will pump at different speeds depending on how many people are using the pumps at the time. The faster the pump is pumping the earlier it will click off.
