Sorry for the misinformation and wanted to correct it!
I have found some disparity in MPG's related to not always being at a consistent fill level. Sometimes I can sqeeze another 2 gallons on there after the hose pops off, and sometimes only a half gallon.

Here again, if that were really the case, and the car was really getting 40+ MPG, he would be driving 844+ miles on a tank.
