I'm trying to think of ways that you or the car's computer got bad data. Otherwise, it would seem the dash mpg is simply reported low. Possible, but not likely.

Previous work done, or tires slightly different sized than OEM, would effect both calculations. A short fill is the usual reason for off results, and if that is the case it will become apparent with a couple more a fills logged.

Perhaps you are getting blessed by a fuel fairy.
