Methinks you are making this more difficult than it need be.
IMNSHO, the purpose of a grid is to give you an underlying structure for your
site layout - in order to maintain some consistency across the various pages.
In your example, if you wanted a page with three same-sized columns, you would
define those as having a width of 306 px with a 30 px gutter between them.
If you wanted a page with two columns, one a third of the page, the other
two-thirds of a page, the first would be 306 px, then a 30 px gutter, then 642
px for the second column.
As Tom stated, you have to make some space between columns - doesn't have to be
30 px, though.
The grid system exists merely to aid you in sizing your elements.
