doesnt make sense
Did a quick mpg test on the way home today.
From Tumbridge Wells to Camberley basiclly 90% motorway middle of the day 30C air temp. FIlled up tull with shell vpower diesel full to first click (been on vpower or utlimate for last 9 tanks), drove home about 62miles most on cruise at gps corrected 70mph. Got home filled up straight away and car only barely took 2literes. About 4 clicks. Fuel gauge was not even moving. THats aprox 130mpg if only Now I know 320D are efficient but not like this. Only thing I can find of is the first pump clicked later than it should have. Otherwise cant think of another reason. Still made be chuckle a the fuelly graph when I entered it

You are not going to get remotely accurate results over such short distances using that method.
It could be as simple as a slight slope on the garage forecourt causing the petrol to sit further back in the tank not allowing quite as much to be put in. |

Fuel in tank expanded due to heat, so less need in the second fill?
