By re-adjusting by a gallon I get that up to about 25, and that menas my freeway trip probably came out around 35 mpg, which is what I have recorded on several other trips. 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.
