Take incompressibility of gas into account at higher pressures
This creates a helper function called "gas_volume()" that takes the
cylinder and a particular pressure, and returns the estimated volume of
the gas at surface pressure, including proper approximation of the
incompressibility of gas.
It very much is an approximation, but it's closer to reality than
assuming a pure ideal gas. See for example compressibility at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility_factor
