But, since the "correction" value was only 0.X while the actual gallons pumped were 0.XXX, it's also apparent there's a big discrepancy in accuracies. In my case, I had to 'round' 9.868 actual gallons up to 9.9 'adjust' gallons (+13.7% per SGII).

...again, just a curiousity question.
Here's a link to a post about the off set. It looks like they can be all over the map from 2- 15%. So the 13.7% does not seem to out of line.
