I made the same mistake, thinking I was getting about 30mpg, but exclude the reserve tank capacity and the maths does work. And BobW is right, you get better mpg if you go faster, in my experience. Commuting through town, stop/go, traffic lights etc, I would reach reserve sometimes in under 100 miles. If I'm out in open country roads, it can be 120+ before I chicken out and stop for a refill.
