I would compare the VCDS figure for the full tank against how much fuel you put in there.
The VCDS output and the trip computer probably use the same reading and there would have to be a safety factor in the reading to ensure the car doesn't actually run out of fuel.
Going the 103/99 km range may have put the tank a half litre below the safety level, which explains your 3-4 litre reading maybe?

2009 Volvo XC90 V8 R Design - has a louder more obnoxious exhaust than the S8, sounds great! Love this thing - Q7 was double the price, and certainly not double the car!
