This is exactly the method we use for measuring fuel usage at our event. We fill the cars until we can see the fuel level in the filler neck [with the little unleaded fuel flapper door held open with the nozzle. It takes extreme care and extra time to do this, but I have lots of practice.

Toyota and Lexus owners browsing this thread, be aware that on most models, you can’t top up your tanks to the rim without causing a CEL and possible damage to your charcoal vapor canister. How do we handle these vehicles? We simply fill on the slowest speed and stop after the first click off.
