No disrespect but calculating your mileage on one or two tanks is nearly meaningless as it is near impossible to fill to the same level.  It is all to easy to overfill an extra gallon or to under-fill a similar amount. 
 
I find that if I can fill with the driver's side of the car low I can get an extra 2 gallons in.  To get reasonable numbers you should average over at least 5 tanks.
