Have you guys ever actually tried to pump on slow? I mean holy shit! I used to need to do it with my ford ranger because the filler neck was rusted out. I needed to leave a good 15 minutes earlier for work to get half a tank when it would normally take maybe 2 or 3 minutes. You will fall asleep at the pump with it on slow. And also don't a lot of pumps work on slightly different systems? I mean you can feel the difference from station to station, wouldn't some be more or less efficient then others? Although they are all working on the same principles and I'm sure all need to abide by the same standards, wouldn't they still vary some and affect how much these little ways to "get more in your tank" actually work? Btw one real way to "save" or more of less cheat on gas that I found out by myself. If you look around and try all the different pumps, when the pump stops and you can still feel pressure in the trigger, partially depress it, sometimes the vacuum stop feature on the pump is broken and it will keep dripping into your tank until you release the trigger. I have one pump by my house I do this with, it takes you forever to get more gas but I put on 5 bucks and filled up almost half a tank. It took about 25 minutes but i needed gas and that was all the money I had. Just as an fyi
