I go by the auto off. A lot of people use the same pump at the same station. I know by using different pumps/stations, one tank (or all) may be a little off- but when we track thousands of miles, the average is the same if your tank is off a little here or there. The next tank will correct, or the one after that.
Everyone has their own specific way, but my suggestion is just to stay consistant. Pick a way, and keep doing that. Since we do not have labs and an exact science, it's really the best we can do. Make a plan/system and stick with it.
