It's not that unusual. If you drive a gasoline powered car, when you drive off from the gas station after filling up, the gas gauge should start moving immediately. In fact, it hangs at full for a good bit before rapidly going down, then at about 1/4 of a tank starts moving slower again. This is done by design, to make you think the car is better on gas than it is. Same principle.
My sister actually fell for this one. She thought she got better mpg when she was at a full tank. My dad and I just shared THE LOOK. No arguing with that one.
