And that is precisely what you are legally required to log.

And that is the problem, the airswitch or timers driven by other digital inputs vary quite a bit.
The engine data for our a/c, and we do not sit around any longer than required to warm up the oil to the minimum temperature, and we do not do many flights under 30 min and many are 1-3 hours, shows a Hobbs/Tach ratio of 1.193, so thats about 0.2 of an hour per every hour flown.
If you want to be realistic in your averages then you need to take the TACH time and add about 0.2 or 0.3 per flight if you are being truthfull. I have timed it many times and it is usually a total of around 12 minutes for both taxi's and fuelling etc so on a fair and accurate estimate that I would be prepared to stand up in court and prove, 0.2 is it.
Food for thought
