4. There you go, your fuel efficiency from fill up #1 at Station A can be calculated by the dividing the milage on the odometer reading by the Litres of gas you just filled up
5. Repeat the process with Station B, C, D, etc...

The OP almost got it, he just need to dig up the old receipts and do some math...
Except he was measuring to when the fuel light clicked on, which is a pretty imprecise measurement. If he used the odomoter to measure between fills that would be different.
