How do you finish fueling up?

As *something else* as this may sound...

Do you just pull out, and hang the pump back up, or do you try and shake every last drop out?

I'm a shaker to be honest...

[Kryton]

i shake. im paying for it so i want every last drop.

[chief]

I shake it and lift up the hose to get the drops out. Pathetic really.

Thats exactly what I do. Been doing it since I started driving (8 years ago).

Yeah that's what I do aswell.

[rapidxr6]

I finish up by first stopping the pump with my hand on the flap, the hose over my shoulder so there is no slack and run all the fuel from the hose as well. Only then do you have every dollar you paid for out of the pump. :evilsasmo

I forgot...i'm a careful shaker, i also hate fuel drips, it stains the Rapid paint easily.

I place the fuel cap in the opened hand grip when refueling and and sit back and watch the other punters wondering why I have a magic fuel nozzle that doesn't require hands on ;-) It still clicks off at presets or full load on board. I pay bogan VL drivers to shake out the last coupla drops from the nozzle < BG>

I lift the hose up using gravity, to get every drop. Venturi style (think thats wat its called)....

[Dmax]

I figure that the fuel switches of at the nozzle, so there is really no point in lifting the hose, or even giving it a shake.

[svo347]

I shake then pull out... Damn that sounds seedy.....
Hmmm this what we are resorting to nowdays

[mattp]

I only shake to avoid having the fuel drip on my paint. What's 2 drops of fuel worth?

Same here, I only give it a giggle to make sure nothing drips out and down the side of the car.

About two gold coins these days... no one takes a pound of flesh any more...

[xdclevo]

I don't really worry about wasting time shaking, as i'm too keen to get back in and drive again. But same as most people, i just don't let fuel go over my rear bumber.(well, sometimes i do : )

Same for me. I am really trying to avoid that splash of fuel down the side of the car, not get the extra few drops in the tank

Same, some people thank that i do it to get the last drop. But that is just real sad and those two drops wouldn't make any difference to my car.

[primo]

I try to get every last drop, 2 years ago i wouldnt have cared, now its a different story

[SVR73]

I shake but make sure whatever amount I put in that it's 1 or 2 cents over
eg : $20.02
Free couple cents every fill or half fill and I also turn nozzle upside down to stop drips onto paint

nah, get my wife to pay for it.

[I6corp]

I shake, but only once or twice, other wise your playing with it.

[4.0i_SiX]

I shake it and turn the nozzle only to stop the fuel from splashing down the side of the car. The few times I have forgotten to do this, ive ended up with fuel all over the quarter panel

[BENT_8]

Put the fuel cap back on the neighbours car, and my hose and tin in the boot for next time!

Hahaha! I get my 2 cents extra every time I fill up, always have done here, even if I'm using the fuel card...but then, I am Scottish!

Wouldn't think there was any rounding on a fuel card as there isn't on any other type of card.

I dont want to spend anytime waiting in line behind you at a urinal, you would be squeezing the damn thing for weeks.
