I hope you don't mind if I ask you something about this. Fuel-use calibration seems like a very troublesome problem, because it seems to me that we are relying on the pump nozzle to shut off in a reliable, consistent manner. I have a feeling this can produce large errors, especially when buying a small amount of fuel. On the other hand, the errors will tend to equalize, over time.

Anyway, I wonder what technique you have been using in this regard, as far as how you gather your fuel consumption data. You might have some tips that could be valuable for others to hear.
