How do you fill up? (POLL)

aaronrkelly · 19-September-05, 10:00 PM

Just an odd question I have and no other way to answer it then a poll......

When you fill up your vehicle and the pump clicks off..........do you stop there or do you squeeze more gas in; and if so are you doing this to get more gas in or just to get the amount to a round number for easier payment.

ex421 · 19-September-05, 10:02 PM

all I know is, when you start pumping, dont squeeze it all the way because the full amount of gas doesnt come out immidietly, yet it charges you for it...

Iateronmly · 19-September-05, 10:05 PM

I used to top it off - but I've learned with this new truck I can't even get a quarter gallon more in without it spitting out. :S

Erad · 19-September-05, 10:06 PM

I wouldn't know, no self serve in New Jersey

Pharaoh · 19-September-05, 10:10 PM

I'm trying to squeze as much in as I can get. That way I don't have to stop again until
Cincinnati or Cleveland.

Alchemist_Boy · 19-September-05, 10:14 PM

Rounding to the nearest dollar would be what id do.

WrathOfSocrus · 19-September-05, 10:45 PM

I'm with Erad. I lived in NJ untill they took my drivers license away. Then I moved to Florida and I now ride my bike everywhere. Maybe one of these years I'll get that DL back. It's been over 4 . . . .

ranger1033 · 19-September-05, 11:02 PM

I round it of to the nearest dollar.

jcarkeys · 19-September-05, 11:33 PM

I stop. I always fill before there's less than a gallon left as it's most convenient (I fill up on a weekly basis because of how much I drive) and so there's no reason to try and top it off.

Plus, don't most automanufacturers discourage against it for whatever reason?

Cyno01 · 19-September-05, 11:39 PM

I have never payed for gas with cash in my life, i dont even know what the deal is with not paying at the pump, so roundings out. Once it clicks i set it again till it clicks a second time then i top it off just a bit. I've never spilled.

Adding to the cost of fuel. I tell you when I found out how much it takes to accept credit cards I quit using them. I ussually only put 20 bucks a week so I never fill up.

TYCOON · 19-September-05, 11:51 PM

I usually dont stop until the gas splashes out.

Highperf15 · 20-September-05, 02:30 AM

I filler up...........and round off..........even with my credit card.......

Get yourself a fleet fuel card. I had to, I couldn't stand the pump attendants.

beachbum86 · 20-September-05, 06:12 AM

is like a license to pump fuel or somthin....do i have to take a class, cause that would be cool to piss off the attendents and have them yell at me for pumping myself and like have them call the cops but then i could just flash the card and make them look stupid..lol

mrcracker · 20-September-05, 08:04 AM

Depends on the car, in my Monte, I try and get every last drop in...I keep seeing that scene from Days of Thunder, "and an extra long fuel line." I also have an 82 Bronco that I have to bump around a bit. It has some sort of funky curvature in the line down to the tank that will cause the pump to cut off early. A couple of bumps and I can fill it to the top.

Zer0s · 20-September-05, 08:16 AM

I just put whatever in......its not like that 2 cents is going to give me that extra mile.

mr.mods · 20-September-05, 08:46 AM

In my truck the pipe is so small, by the time it clicks the gas squrts out the top and on to my feet. so i dont try for that extra drop. Now in any outher car i try to round it up so i dont walk around with a pocket full of pinnies.

NoSlak · 20-September-05, 09:22 AM

By the time I get to my 38th gallon and filled 1 gallon has already dissipated so I just keep pumping till I have to be somewheres.
