Makes a little sense, I guess.
I think Tom and Ray said some tanks are equipped with fuel-vapor recovery systems that will fail if the tank if the fill tube is over filled.
I avoid using slow fill speed because I've experienced auto-stop failures when filling slowly. At best, a little puddle of gas on the ground ...

I actually saw a gas tank on an MRAP explode (not a big fireball like the movies lol, its just bursted open and sprayed fuel everywhere) in Iraq when there was a large change in temperature and an overfilled tank ;P
