I'm seriously considering recommending to Bob Gillespie, for next year's Green Grand Prix:

The fillups prior to the competition should be done by the drivers or their navigators. Fillups after the competition will be done by GGP staff or volunteers.

Fillup by competitors before the event ensures tanks will be properly filled. They can have a rule limiting a maximum of three clicks. Fillup after the event(s) - GGP crew cannot get an over-read because it was completely filled before. It will be the responsibility of the GGP crew to not under-fill afterwards. That is probably an easier requirement to fulfill.

I think this will help eliminate, or at least minimize, inaccurate fillups.

Thoughts or comments?
