If you fill in the early morning or late evening when temperature reduced you will get more fuel in your tank than in the midday heat.
The best way to test mpg/ kmpL is as mentioned: Fill to base of tube. Zero trip Ride fixed distance. Refill tank to same point. Read elapsed mileage from trip & do calculation. Actual consumption depends on so many variables, most of which are under riders direct control.
