Also I drove it hard this time and I am surprised I got that good of a mileage out of tank. I would say 90% of it was highway.
You are figuring the MPG wrong. You need to fill-up, drive it (at least 100+ miles), write down how far you went, fill-up again, then divide how far you went by the last fill-up (not the first). And do this 3 or more times to get a better estimate.
