Do you let the pump handle click once when its filled up and put the handle back, or do you let it click once, then hold the handle half way to get a little more into the gas tank?



I always try to get as much gas as possible to the point where the needle is a little above F on my gauge.

With a high flow pump, gas will "foam" up and then settle down, similar to filling up a carbonated beverage from a soda fountain. I let it click off, wait a second, then pump some more. On my SUV, I can get another 1.5 gallons. On the Genesis, maybe .25 - .5 gallon.



Yes, I top it off everytime. I'm on the borderline of filling up once a week, so if I get enough in the tank, I can make it Monday through Friday before having to fill up on the weekend.

^ I'll stop at $.00, .50, or something recognizeable like $37.73 or $34.34 or $40.04 or $13.37

Click and done. I'll be back soon enough anyway.
