I'm not sure I understand that.

It shouldn't matter if you fill up when empty or not. The MPG is simply the number of miles covered on the trip odometer divided by the amount of fuel used to fill up. You don't have to wait until the tank is empty, but you do have to fill it up each time and remember to reset the trip to zero.
