From having a truck I can't tell if this is normal. This is only my 1st time filling my tank w Chevron from the dealer and I lost one bar at 65 miles from the full tank that the dealership filled up.. is this right? Lol

It's normal, as you can fill the tank/neck with almost 2 gallons more than the fuel sender can read. You will see that after the first the drop occurs much more quickly.
