When I fill my fuel tank to the brim the first quarter of a tank seems to go down really quickly a lot quicker than the rest. Why would this be?

Hello, I am Danny.

Does the car in good running condition? Do you perform routinely scheduled maintenance? Is the Check Engine Light on? With 130,000 miles you might want to consider doing a fuel injection cleaning/service. Hope this helps and feel free to ask any questions. Thanks for using 2CarPros.
