Also having a bit of a drive after fillup to settle the fuel further down the neck is recommended as well. I end up having to fill every tank with the nozzle on about the second click in to keep the fuel from frothing up the neck and activating the nozzle stop. It will click and stop almost immediately apon starting a refuel on an empty tank even with taking care not to squeeze too fast of a flow. I've been trained pretty well on fueling quality and station loyalty with the diesel I had before. Poor fuel made a huge difference in my Jetta's mileage. The skyactive engines use piston and timing tech to run 87 octane and vary timing atkinson style to vary compression from 6-13:1 in USA.

I hear you. But it still seems like a lot of process and hassle for a few more ounces to maybe a gallon, and at the cost of irregular fills. Assume you get a whole gallon into the neck, which seems unlikely. Even then it is only 7% or so of total tank capacity. Improve your fuel economy instead by 7%--which is easier than you might think at first--and you'll get all the range back, all the time, without the gas pump hassles and the data irregularity.
