Completely n00b question
Looking at your bike's page you got about 57 mpg off your most recent fillup. Looking at your earlier fill-ups, and the fact you put in 13litres on an 80 mile tank, the fill-up before that can't have been a full tank.
For this site to work properly you really need to brim it every time. Try editing your earlier fill-ups to partial ones, I think that should exclude them from your average MPG number.

Make sure you brim your tank every time (or fill to the same point) and reset your trip - you fill up, reset your trip, then next time you fill up you can note down the miles you got on the last lot of petrol, and assuming you're brimming your tank again you will know the exact amount of petrol you used to do that mileage.
Apart from that, as pb says, make sure you're using UK mode. I thought this site was doing its calculations wrong before I noticed the US/UK modes. Turns out not everything is bigger in the US, gallons certainly aren't!
