Generally I run the tanks well into the gas light turning on and fill to full, recording the miles according to the odometer and the gallons used to fill.

I've got a truck with a bad odometer, so I have tracked distance with GPS, and record gallons using a cheapo fuel meter attached to my diesel pump.

Sometimes I might fill up early, but all that gets averaged out in the long run assuming I record every fill up.
