Sometimes they will burn through the first half faster than the last half. Mine has done it a few times.

Mine does that consistently as well. I'll get about 100 miles on the first quarter and then like 75 miles on the others.

I think the sending unit is just a little funky, when I calculate it I still get about 30mpg.
