You did well 

The maximum I have ever got in was about 52 Litres and that was after driving 10 miles with "0 miles to empty" showing

You can't always believe what the pump tells you.

We only ever had one fuel station in out town until a supermarket started selling fuel at 10p a litre less than the old boy up the road. Funny old thing, he dropped his price to match, so wanting to support the independents, I filled up at his place. According to his pump, I got 63 litres into my Mk4 Golfs 55 litre tank. Needless to say, I've never been back.

This is quite true and goes for a lot of things.

How would you actually know if you were getting the stated quantity of fuel ?

The ones up our way are regularly checked by trading standards I think.

Same down our way - regular checks by TSI. 

I would hope the mainstream fuel providers (Shell, Esso supermarkets, etc) would be accurate, but some independents might be inclined to manipulate the pumps.
