The other practical consideration is that fuel sg usually only is super critical for ultra-longhaul operations, typically record attempts, where the maximum full mass is required for the tank volume - subject to maximum weight limits.

This is when you will see combinations of particular fuel origins, temperature etc. to maximise sg on the day.
