What do you mean by round down? Can you give me an example from your fuel-ups of what you're seeing vs. what you expect to see?

Today I did 518 miles on 46.47 litres = 50.161mpg

Fuelly has put it down as 50.7 which I make it to be 518 miles on 46 litres.

If you went 518 miles on 46.47 litres, that's 50.7 UK MPG. You can double check with various online calculators. Here's one. And here's another.

I've posted a related issue with decimal places in another posting - but on this topic please could we have more decimal places for the MPG? I've always recorded my MPG to 3dp, so I find it a bit disconcerting to see it displayed to only 1dp.

Perhaps 2dp everywhere?
