I've found auto-shutoff to be VERY inconsistent, varying by more than a gallon regularly. That's a 10% variation in a 10 gallon tank.

The only way I've found to get a consistent fill is to manually hold the lever at the slowest possible fill rate. Only a few stations even allow such a slow fill rate - some just shut off if you try to go slowly.
