It wouldn't be very sensible compression if we only used half of the packet 
for decoding :-)

You're probably just doing something wrong with how you're counting the bits 
used.

Also, ogg packets have to be byte aligned, so if, for example, the encoder 
only needed 30 bits to encode something, it would have to use 32 bits (4 
bytes) - so in that case you do get some wasted bits.
