When I've been close to failing fuel check it's always been on the low side. A few years back at Sonoma many of us were close to failing or failing.

I went and bought a fresh 5 out of a new drum. They tested it for me and said it was perfect, right in the middle. Why if when we fail it's always on the low side, but when the fuel is fresh it only starts out life in the middle?

Shouldn't it start out life at the top of the scale???
When I worked for NHRA in the 80's I said the same thing. If the fuel tested on the low side most of the time you slow down. If it tested high then you should be DQ'ed. Throw out the low side test!!!!,
