Default Re: Gasoline Pump Accuracy

Hi Dan,

Interesting post, thanks.

For those who have not undergone the proper indoctrination, there are 231 cubic inches in one gallon. I was not aware such a unit was used, but google knew ..

So the accuracy is 1/192.5 -- about half a percent as Dan wrote. Or up to two US pennies for a Prius fill of 10 gallons.

btw, congrats on the *brilliant* FE.
