LOL I hope when you refill, you looked at your trip ODO which you restarted in the previous refill and looked at the litres on the fuel pump and work out your tank mileage using those two numbers. Didn't realise you have been doing it wrong

Considering there would still be a bit of fuel in the fuel lines, you are looking at 14 ish per 100k km

Do an upper engine clean and manifold, and use 2 tanks of 98, see if it's gunk build up massing with the MAF.

May I tell you Gents about my car , 2008 Accord V6 ...it usually drinks like a fish when I drive back and forth to work...consumed around 14L/100km...

I drove to Moree last Easter , the distance from my house to the destination is 628.9 KM as I full filled the fuel tank and set the travel ODO to 0 before leaving ...It took me around 8 hours to arrive there.

Straight away I went to Shell station to refill the tank , when it clicked off it was just over 50 litters ...I made a calculate
50x100/628.9 = 7.95L/100 KM...So now I know what the difference of the consumable between driving around the city and on the highway.

Sorry for my English...I am still learning
