It's a lot to do with your driving distances, I think, maybe you are in the same situation as me.

Normally I have very short commutes (<5km), and the first bar on the gauge drops after 50km.

Right after my last fillup, I went on a much longer trip, almost 100km, and the first bar only dropped after about 75km.

I don't go on long drives like this very often, but if I did, I am sure the overall mileage would be a lot better!
