My progression into hypermiling - Toyota Yaris Forums

My question is, what are you using to definitively measure the liquid volume and
mass of the the hydrocarbons you put in the tank ? Are you just trusting the gas station pump ? time of day, and moon phases ? Or do you pump into a container, measure volume and weight, then pour into the Yaris and weigh what is left over ?

or is this 'overall averages over time' which is going to be close, but not 'hundreths close'

you are talking "sometimes as close as 0.262 MPG" so I figured you have a much better system than 'the gas pump nozzle method"
