There is a reason why they say not to top off your tank.
While 7.7 gallons is nowhere close to 16.8, keep in mind that the reserve tank is there...
then, there is the bottom unsensored level.... and then there is a chance of a hill....
And, there is the possibilty that your float is crooked/not floating as well as it could.

I wouldnt say that you have a problem, you just filled up too early to need as much gas as you expected.

If you really want to you could lift yoru carpet in the back up, unscrew the right plate, make sure the hose isn't like kinked (it is pretty think, i don't see that happening). You could take out your float from the left hole and check it, and see your nice large reserve tank.
