FC's don't give any proof? First they arn't accurate - secondly, can easily stick in another gallon at any time before taking the picture at the end!

Can only take people's word for it, no matter what the method.

Best method is to fill the tank to the brim.
reset the TRIP
Drive until it's virtually empty, to get a good average.
Fill to the Brim again - note the number of litres and note the distance covered.

Then what ever your chosen method of conversion you have an accurate distance covered per volume of fuel.
