of course if you fill your car up at half a tank you are always carrying more weigh and thus getting worse mileage

If you have the pump on full blast it will kick off sooner, because splashing or foaming fuel will trip the automatic shutoff sensor. But will it affect the accuracy of the meter? That technique would allow you to fill the tank higher, but I don't see how you would get more fuel per dollar.

have the pump read 5 gallons. then fill up another can both started with ZERO fuel. and the one you filled up on low has more fuel. the only time i ever cared(it was really maybe 1/8 1/4 inch in diffence in over all height up the "fill gauge". but i made sure i had EXACT 5 gallons wen i mixed my dirt bike 2 stroke gas. i just never realized why it was different. now i know. so go ahead say it makes no difference ive done it.

I never really put that much thought into how to pump gas. I will give a few tips a try. Paying for 93 in all but 2 vehicles... it can't hurt to try, right

i saw this on facebook awhile ago. ima lways to cheap to fill to the top and fill everytime at half a tank so i ignore that one, im too lazy to fill up early in the am im always still sleeping. only one i can use is the "slow pour" which i actually have been doing. dosent really take too much longer and hey if it helps it helps!
