Good point Graham - I was being lazy as I don't normally bother to tidy up spreadsheets for personal use. The #DIV/0 message reminds me that there is a formula in the cell so I don't over-write it. Here is a cleaner version if anyone want to use it. (Hope I haven't corrupted any of the calculation logic in doing this!)

No probs Phil. I did amend it but I thought I had better ask before messing with your sheet. I think it is very good.
There are problems with measuring distance and consumption between fillings.
Different pumps may have a slightly different cut off point, also I've noticed that the slope of the filling station forecourt affects the amount of fuel delivered to the 'full' point, as the slope of the ground affects the level of the fuel. This is most noticable when running low on fuel, the gauge reading between going uphill, downhill or level will fluctuate significantly.
Unless you fill up at the same pimp each time then indivual readings will fluctuate. One answer is to fill up at home before starting and again at finish of trip then take the average.

You will also find that the SAME pump will have a difference cut off depending on lots of other variables . One of the things that affects the rate at which a tank can be filled is the amount of fungal build up within the pump it'self. The more fungus you get with the pump (nozzle) results in the cut off off triggering early. That's the reason that some pumps take forever to filling the tank as they are constantly have the cut off triggered. According to Mrs Zozzer who works in a filling station, whener a customer complains about the length of time taken to fill up, they know it's time to get the pumps cleaned.
*NB* fungal buildup does not contaminate the fuel, it only affects the cut off trigger point.
