It's also true that differences in when the pump shuts off may not give you the most accurate measurement for the tank.

However, if one tank reads high because you did not fill up all the way the next one will read low. Even though each tank could be off, over a number of tanks this should give you the most accurate measurement.
Fair enough...

I will try that - I think the "tank average" on the speedometer display might have been pretty close to the calculated, but I topped it off this time....

Thanks,
Jeff
