It might not have used all the gas in the tank. The better way to measure your mpg is to fill the tank to full, record mileage, drive it a while, refill to full, then record mileage. Then find miles/gallons.
I average 19, or 16-17 city and 21-27 freeway. Typically 22-23 freeway but at 55 mph 26-27 is common. I think 17 city/25 freeway is typical on an RX-7 that works. If your car is getting 13 mpg or less either you're going 20 mph stop and go or your car needs repairs.

through the years, ive seen my mileage range from 16-22 mpg , ive also noticed on all of the cars, 12a,13bna, na-t , fd, rx8 they all seem to get right around there regardless of boost or not.
the highest consistant mileage I noticed was when s4 6port turboed motor, with gutted interior, and the na transmission ( long 5th gear).
I seem to be getting toward the lower end of the mileage with ported motors or the larger turbo setups, but my cruise and idle a/f could use more tuning which would help im sure.

just wanted to add. our cars were made in the 80s and back then the speed limit of 55mph was not only a safety regulation but was also the speed for maximum fuel economy. as times moved on and technology got better the speed limit was brought up also to effect maximum fuel efficiency. i have noticed a bit of an increase in my mpg when i dove at 55 on fwy rather than at 65. just my $.02

40 mpg regularly. I have had 44 mpg..... oh, wait, For the RX-7, not so much. S5 N/A S4 keg, ported, partial emissions delete No cats, cherry bomb muffs. Probably about 10. I am on the loud pedal hard when I drive it. 20 or so mpg when I drive decent.

S4 totally stock except for a cobbled together exhaust system that started life as a Dynomax, with 168,000 on the clock. I get anywhere from 21 to 26 mpg, depending on the season. Used mostly as my work car, which is a commute of 15 miles of mostly flat 55 mph with a couple of lights/stop signs. No complaints on mileage.

Recently my city mileage has jumped from @16-17mpg to a very consistent 20+mpg and I have no idea why.
End of this month I'm taking a long (3k+) trip and it'll be interesting to see if highway mileage (previously @25) increases proportionally.
I always enjoy bringing my RX down from the mountains because it's so much stronger at sea level.

I seem to get 20-21mpg in the summer and around 18mpg in the winter. Probably a roughly 80/20 highway/city mix. I think my mods are in my sig still.
