Re: Fuel Logs

I find this concept very odd. I tend to treat all fuel gauges as highly inaccurate, and most do not move over 15 min, let alone give you precise usage. I keep a detailed account of fuel used, dip the tanks before takeoff, work out a proper plan with appropriate reserves and fly the trip. I use the gauges to tell me if I have a bad fuel leek, which is all they are good for! Achieved accuracy on a usage of 9.2 GPH is 0.1 Gal (imp).
