Arrow Fuel/POH question

If someone could clarify that im doing this right it would be grateful, thanks.
Lets say C150 total fuel tanks full=22us gallons but 2 gallons each side is unusable. To work out CofG and Fuel consumption on 3/4's full...

To get the CofG moment envelope you take 22 divide by 4 then times 3 = 16.5. Work this out in Ibls it equals 99Ibs (taking into consideration Spec. Grav.). So this 99Ibls goes in your table to get the Total Moment.

Now when working out the fuel consumption on this you take 16.5US gallons - 4 Gallons of Unusable fuel which gives 12.5US Gallons then divide that by the Burn..lets say 4.6 Gallons an hr, which gves a total endurace of 2hrs 43mins.Is this correct?

I wasnt sure weather to do it this way or take the 4 Gallons right at the beginning from 22, then work on 18 to get CofG and Fuel consump
