Did you reset the mpg reading on the computer after you filled up? Otherwise it will just keep reading average mpg from it last milage point. Which means it could average usage from the previous fill up. That thing isn't as accurate as physical measurements anyways. It can change the instant you start to drive a little more sportingly.
