Does anybody know if different pumps shut off at the same point or if same
pump shuts off at same point with differing flow rates or even same flow
rate, etc?
If I can see the fuel at the same point, I can SEE it at the same point and
feel more confident that it's at the same point, especially if I've shaken
the car a bit to remove large bubbles (trapped air - not foam) for that last
little bit.

I drive enough (110 miles a day) that 20 miles either way makes no never
mind, I need to fill up 3 times every 2 weeks no matter what.
I guess if you wanted as accurate as possible you'd fill until just before
fuel started running out, or let fuel run out, capture it, measure it and
deduct from the total put in...
Accuracy is relative of course, I'm willing to use the auto shutoff
determine my accuracy...

......and admitted that he didn't cram the tank AFTER the 33mpg trip.
This could mean a pint or quart difference...
It could mean a helluva lot more than that. On my past MBs, after the
first
auto-shutoff I could get at least another gallon in if I dribbled it in
until I could see it. Which is what anyone would do if they wanted to do
an
accurate consumption test.
Yes, I know that the list deitys (here and on the R/E list, even) have
said
"don't top off" but it's another 20+ miles before I'm in the gas station
again. So, I always do it.
