Thats not what screwed up your MPG. You can't EVER top up and get an accurate
MPG count. In fact to get really really accurate MPG you need to use the same
pump at the same ambient temp but I'd be willing to accept always just filling
the tank.
Fill 'till the pump shuts off and you're good to go. Actually always use the
same pump speed too so you get the same amount of foam although I'm not sure
that'd make a big difference. I don't like to wait so I just run the pump
full-bore...
My 240D continues to average 28mpg highway although I haven't been running it
because of leaking oil cooler lines that I keep forgetting to call Rusty about.

The trip to and from Boone is on really flat land. Only one hill each
direction, constant throttle pressure for most of the trip.
Going into Winterset, it got really hilly so there was lots of full-throttle
driving getting up the hills (I had an empty dump truck climbing up my back
bumper). Same thing coming up I-35: lots of full throttle stuff while
passing other vehicles. Enough of that, and you end up screwing up your MPG.
