I like my engine performance tables and a stop watch, Pretty accurate.


That only works if you truly know how many gallons were in the tank
at takeoff.

Correct. also it is my plane so I know how long each trip was and I
also have a conservative factor. I get a "reset" each time I fill up.
On long trips I always start out with a full tank.

Assuming you have long range tanks, using that method you could always
just use your bladder which is going to tell you to land long before
your tanks run dry.

No I do not have long range tanks, but I know what you mean. I am ready
to set down after 2.5 hours anyway. I have a friend that tanks up and
can go 8 hours in his A36 with tip tanks.
