I actually listen to the fuel as it gets close to full and reduce the pump flow to about 25% of capacity. First shut off is full, any more and it overflows.

Cars with tanks under the rear seat and 3 foot long filler necks are very susceptible to the slope of the concrete where you park. I try to fill at the same station, but when it is not convenient I try to make sure the slope is away from the filler neck.

On the VX that's left to right and rear to front down slope. The VX filler is behind the left rear wheel opening.

On the Insight the filler is in front of the right rear wheel well and it's almost a straight shot into the tank. Consistent fill ups are much easier.

The wife's old Murano would take another 2 gallons after the pump shut off.
