I might have the gas gauge on camera...
I would guess you're stopping about 1/2 a gallon early by letting it shutoff itself, and not easing it up to the bottom of the filler thingy. But if this is your standard practice I suspect it may indicate a large variation between shutoff points between different pumps.
