I suspect this isn't exactly accurate, and that you did start with 56L. The measurements are taken from the start/finish line and so after leaving your grid slot and reaching the start/finish it may have decreased to less than 56 and registered as 55... if that makes sense.
I'll forward this to Andrew to see if that's the case or not.

Actually this was a simple rounding error on the display output. The value that was stored would have been (roughly) 55.9999999 litres, and that was incorrectly rounded to 55 when output to be displayed in that table. I've fixed that now, although it will only address future results.
What Jack described does apply to the per-lap output, but not the per-pitstop output or the starting details.
Thanks for pointing this out.

I think in future, decimals for fueling would be best, on a development and competitive reason.
Development Reason:
Able to spot mistakes in fuel calculations on the coding side, as seen here in this post
Competitive Reason:
Managers are sometimes scared to push their car cause they have absolutely no idea how much fuel they have remaining with no decimal points.
On a few ocassions where I felt I need to 'underfuel' the car, I had to be optimistic about my fueling and it came down to pitting early cause I was 0.1 litres underfueled, considering the consumption can be from anywhere at .X to .XXX per lap to where it can go between 3.9, 3.9 where actually it's 3.961, 3.961 again, I am technically using 7.9 on two laps.
