My car can't even take full speed on the nozzle.. it just clicks off right away.. so i do the following..

The nozzle always goes in a certain way.. otherwise it clicks off early on my car.. seems the filler neck is just slow draining..

I always use the same station.. when I can the same pump.. but all there pumps are the same type.. I set the gas nozzle "cruise control" to the first little notch on the nozzle... let it fill, then when it clicks off I just trickle it in (half of the first notch on the nozzle) till it clicks off again.. the i quit.. It never over fills it but I found that if i didn't trickle it in at the end id get off fills..like .5 gallons difference sometimes.. at 50 mpg that can be a big difference.
