I fill my tank all the way to the top so that my MPG calculations are relevant from tank to tank. This would also explain why (after long ago running out of gas while pulling into a gas station to fuel my Yaris and filling all the way to the top as I usually do) I know that my Yaris will take 12.777 gallons, which is more than stated in the specifications for the Yaris.

You are also in Houston, which means the rubber bladder will always be larger than almost everyone else in the USA. I generally fill to the second click, because I've never been able to trust the first one.
