yep same here...it shows full and as soon as I drove off it said I had 3/4 lol....Dave knows how to do the fuel sensor clean but that means taking out seats and having your car smell like fuel...can't do that in 110 degree weather..

I'd venture to say you were truly empty and seconds from sputtering. I'd bet that extra amount is pretty close to the volume of filling the tank as well as the filler tube.
