We actually do know how accurate the fuel pump will be, because there are laws surrounding that sort of thing. In the UK pumps are required to be accurate to within 0.5%, and in the states it depends on the specific state. In Seattle, for example, the pump must be accurate to within 6 cubic inches for every 5 gallons pumped (0.52% allowable error). Generally speaking the pumps are required to be accurate to within 1% or better.
