For example, fill #1 SG2 reads 10.5g and pump shuts off at 10.7g, fill #2 11.8 g on the SG2 and 11.7 g at the pump, and so on and so fourth to get a calibration using something on the order of 50 gallons worth of fuel. You might have trouble doing this because the car and therefore the SG2 doesn't know about distance traveled when the ICE is turned off.

i know what you're saying. when the engine is off, there are some readings that scangauge doesn't read. when i turn off my engine, function such as "Current Trip" doesn't read as well as other function don't work. and yes, i do set the scangauge ready for use when i fill up and i do compare scangauge to the amount of fuel i needed to fill up the tank to the first click, sometimes 2 clicks.
if i do EXTREME Hypermile, i get the results at the pump, not from scangauge, therefore scangauge is only there to help maximize my mpg. if i do moderate hypermile, i leave the engine on and base the results from scangauge & pump and from all the comparison i've done, its pretty accurate. my scangauge is calibrated and setup correctly for my car also, so don't worry about that part. i usually make up my mind if i want to turn off my engine or not after i finished pumping because once i turn off my engine and coast, the results will be different in the end.
btw, what is ICE ??
