Describe the bug

Hello,

When I send multiple times transactions to an Anvil node. The gasUsed that I get from: eth_getTransactionReceipt is invalid.

I wrote a Rust code to illustrate the issue (please look only at the main and ignore the helper methods to build the transactions).

use std::{env, str::FromStr, sync::Arc};

use dotenv::dotenv;
use ethers::{
    contract::abigen,
    core::k256::ecdsa::SigningKey,
    providers::{Http, Middleware, Provider},
    signers::{coins_bip39::English, MnemonicBuilder, Signer, Wallet},
    types::{transaction::eip2718::TypedTransaction, Bytes, H160, U256, U64},
    utils::{parse_units, Anvil},
};
use eyre::Result;
use reqwest::Client;
use serde_json::json;

/// The type of the wallet that we use to sign transactions
pub type WalletType = Arc<Wallet<SigningKey>>;

// Generate simple ERC20 Abi
abigen!(
    Erc20,
    r"[
        function approve(address _spender, uint256 _value) external
    ]"
);

/// Create a wallet at a specific derivation index from the mnemonic.
fn create_wallet(wallet: &MnemonicBuilder<English>, index: u32) -> WalletType {
    Arc::new(
        wallet
            .clone()
            .index(index)
            .expect(&format!(
                "Could not build wallets from mnemonic at index {index}"
            ))
            .build()
            .expect(&format!(
                "Could not build wallets from mnemonic at index {index}"
            )),
    )
}

/// Build the anvil test wallets
fn build_anvil_wallets(amount_of_wallets: u32) -> Vec<WalletType> {
    // Anvil basic mnemonic
    let mnemonic = "test test test test test test test test test test test junk";

    let wallet = MnemonicBuilder::<English>::default().phrase(mnemonic);

    let mut wallets = Vec::new();

    for i in 0..amount_of_wallets {
        wallets.push(create_wallet(&wallet, i));
    }

    wallets
}

    let mut transactions = Vec::new();
    let chain_id = U64::from(provider.get_chainid().await?.as_u64());

    for wallet in wallets {
        let mut approve_call = token.approve(to, U256::max_value() - U256::from(1));
        let transaction = approve_call
            .tx
            .as_eip1559_mut()
            .expect("The trx should be in EIP1559");

        let nonce = provider
            .get_transaction_count(wallet.address(), None)
            .await?;

        transaction.from = Some(wallet.address());
        transaction.nonce = Some(nonce);
        transaction.max_priority_fee_per_gas = Some(parse_units("0.5", "gwei")?.into());
        transaction.max_fee_per_gas = Some(parse_units("100", "gwei")?.into());

        let typed_trx = TypedTransaction::Eip1559(transaction.clone());
        let signature = wallet.sign_transaction_sync(&typed_trx)?;

        transactions.push(typed_trx.rlp_signed(&signature));
    }

    Ok(transactions)

As you can see:

The first gas used:
Transaction: 0x2295c17dbca9b62385674fab935121bc34d13fc27f38bd2dd7b3612d338bb7ec was mined at block 19182852 and took 46364 gas

Seems to be correct (when I send real approve transactions to goerli for WETH, I get around 46364 gas used)

But when I get the receipt of the next transaction:
92728 gas

It is equal to 46364 * 2

Then the next again:
139092 gas = 46364 * 2 + 46364
...

The bug is also the same for the block receipt.

Confirming this was an issue on earlier commit.

Can't reproduce on latest nightly, so closing:
