I always filled at the same pump (except on long trips when that was impossible), and always filled it to the brim (until it wouldn't hold another drop without spilling over). It was accurate no matter if I was hypermiling it without any load, or towing a 10,000 lb trailer through the mountains going full throttle up all the hills.

For me, the ScanGauge works VERY well on diesels.
Since I've only used it on a VW, let me be more specific.

The Scangauge does not report well on VW diesels. I think my data speaks for itself.
