...normally I fillup at a brand-name gas station near our house (northwest side of town), but yesterday, because I didn't think I'd have enough gas to make it back home, I decided to fillup at a same-brand gas station near work (south side of town).
...using (A) the same SLOWEST-setting flow on pump-handle and (B) the same "one-click" filling method, I was surprised at how well the SGII fuel value (11.2 gallons) correlated with the new gas pump value (11.238 gallons).
...fast pumping (highest flow rate) is quicker, but tends to create lots & LOTS of gasoline "bubbles & foam" in the tank, making the final "one-click" cutoff far less accurate, because it is 'sensing' the bubbles & foam first and not the actual liquid gasoline level.
