2017 Chevy Colorado Losing Fuel

I don't know if other people are having this problem but I am losing roughly 1.5 gallons per trip. I used to get approximately 415-430 miles per trip at 22.5-23 mpg before my empty light went on. Empty light comes on at 2.5 gallons left with a tank capacity of 21 gallons. I am now averaging 380 miles at the same mpg of 22.5-23. If you do the math I am only getting 17 gallons of gas per trip but when I fuel up it takes 18.5 gallons of fuel to refill my tank. I have taken the truck to the chevy service to be looked at and they can't find any leak or any faults in the computer system. I have changed where I went to get fuel thinking maybe I was getting watered down fuel but sadly nothing has changed. Anybody have any bright ideas? I almost want to trade in my truck.
