Fill your tank fast and don't diddle-daddle topping it off. Don't even
bother rounding up to the nearest nickel. Do this a few times and see if the
actual fuel consumed matches your graphic amount more closely.

In order to get an accurate series of manual computations you must fill it
to the last drop each time, otherwise the calculation will be affected by
how far the nozzle was inserted, how sensitive the pump shut-off is and how
relaxed the bladder is. That series will yield the delta value between
actual and computed mileage. Once you have the delta value it is pointless
to continue gathering data manually.

OK, if you want to waste time, money and keep the filler cap off longer
than necessary, go for it. Fast filling until it clicks off expands the
bladder. Slow fills and rocking the car doesn't do anything other than make
one look stupid and cheap.

Because you posted that there's a difference between actual and computer. If
it didn't matter, then what was the point of your post?

I found when I first got my Prius in September '04 that slow fills give
me more consistent results than fast ones.

That's the reason you gave the advice, but doesn't answer the question
of why I should fill up in the manner you suggested.
