You don't give any history but two things are possible. Since I am in the US, I have no idea how much fuel you actually pumped. 20 euros does not sound like much, maybe 35-40 Ltr. You may have not filled the tank completely, the car may have been on an angle that gave a false reading or your gauge is wrong or your driving may have been poor and got bad milage.. If it has been right in the past, refill it and test again.
