Accurate fuel measuring

I did some searching on the site but couldn't find what I as after.

Forgive me if this is such a nutcase basic question. But how do you measure fuel accurately when it is put into the car? I mean, I am seeing your reports of fuel usage into the tench of a gallon or better here on the site, how in the heck do you know much fuel you have used when anyone of use could fill a car up and come up with a totally different amount of fuel going in the tank (when you break it down into tenths).

Do you just simply let the filler kick off, and leave it at that? You would of course have to average fill ups out being each one on it's own couldn't be that accurate. But do you just "fudge" and say all is good?
