Get a new technical committee. The way we do it here is better.

Getting to zero, filling, measuring the fill, then driving, then measuring what's left can be accurate. But every step is at best some added slop and a chance to get something wrong. At worst? A kindergartener could cheat and not get caught.

Better? Fill up, drive, then fill up again with as few variables as possible- same pump, conditions, method, etc. Measure fuel pumped on the refill.
