I need some better glue to get them to stay put

I filled up yesterday and when I got to work I figured my numbers had to be wrong and I didn't get a good fill(showed 65mpg). I drove it around yesterday and put another 50 miles on it. Filled up again today, took a bit over a gallon, and made sure it was totally full then I could combine yesterday and today.

Distance 480
Gallons 7.95
Mileage 60.38


I filled the car up right before driving it to the car show in June and again yesterday/today. I am kind of surprised by the numbers. This has been mostly testing and debugging the car. It has probably an hour or more of idling on that tank plus I took maybe a gallon of gas out of it for my 6 wheeler. I need to try and get 250 miles on it at least before filling it up again and hopefully I will have accurate numbers. I figure I have to have made a mistake somewhere because there is no way the car's mileage was that good. I was expecting that tank to be like 35-40mpg due to all issues and whatnot testing the car and putting it together.
