I think to get an extremely accurate fuel consumption meter, you will have no choice but to go down the Scintex path. Personally I think it's overkill and won't benefit you much. As you are no doubt aware you need to do your fuel calculations before you are on a trip and then carry the appropriate qty of fuel. The ability to measure your actual fuel usage on the fly really won't matter if you don't have the fuel with you to start with. Better to assume worst case scenario and carry enough fuel to cover this on some shorter similar style trips. You will soon work out what you need to carry to cover the longer trips in similar country and conditions.
