BTW, if it comes to splitting hairs.....the only way to get extremely accurate readings is by weighing the fuel. But the only time I would go to that extreme is if someone is paying me to do a scientific study.

amen to that. that is the BEST way to get the most accurate measurement of fuel. On race day, we have to go by weight since we dont have fuel gauges. We do it backwards though, by measuring the fuel left in the can.
Basically you can do as much testing as you want. You may not be perfect on your measurements, but you can do it so that you arent far off enough to totally hose your equations. I would be willing to go by the original figures on this post given the facts presented.
