We present a novel method to derive liquid-gas coexisting densities, rho(+/-)(T), from grand canonical simulations (without knowledge of T-c or criticality class). The minima of Q(L)equivalent to(2)(L)/(L) in an LxLxL box with m=rho-(L) are used to generate recursively an unbiased universal finite-size scaling function. Monte Carlo data for a hard-core square-well fluid and for the restricted primitive model electrolyte yield rho(+/-) to +/-1%-2% of rho(c) down to 1 part in 10(4)-10(3) of T-c (and confirm well Ising character). Pressure mixing in the scaling fields is unequivocally revealed and indicates Yang-Yang ratios R-mu=-0.04(4) and 0.2(6) for the two models, respectively.
