what i've found, on getting the most accurate reading:

1. make sure the car is level (not just front to back, but side to side as well)
2. check after it's had a few minutes to start to cool off.

keep in mind that the short countdown timer is a "quick" reading. after filling the gas tank, it'll take a "longer" reading. i've seen the time get up to 5 minutes.
