I get 360ish up to 440ish when "filling tank. Could I really not be "filling" and this is a fuel pump nozzle sensor sensitivity issue? Seems a big delta...

I think it all depends on how you have been driving prior to filling up - my 'range' values have spanned 340 - 620 miles so far this year! Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE
Previously:
TD5 Defender 110 CSW (230k miles)
300TDi Disco 1 (289k)
4 RR Classics (300-350k each, 2 manual, 2 auto)
110 V8 CSW (220k)
S3 109 hi cap pickup (ex RN)
S2A 88 Safari SW with lpg conversion (bloody lethal)

Fair point. I assumed there was a reset when you filled tank but I guess it needs to Base figures on something so most likely average mpg for last journey.
