it's not a SG, but it's old school process for my 1986 accord.
While I understand that you are trying to keep everything as constant as possible.... Do you use the same gas station, the same pump, car parked in almost the exact same place, do you fill it up until gas is sitting in the neck, or perhaps after the pump shuts off twice?? I guess I'm saying plenty of variables can make your readings skewed.... Even simply using different gas pumps at the same station....

Please do not take this post as an attack...
