And a pump that has been sitting a while in the off state will not dispense the previous person's left over fuel after pump shut off.

The station I tested at was a QuikTrip in far North Dallas, and admittedly its a data point of 1 at this point, but it lends to the theory that the pump/valves allow the leftover fuel back into the line/tank somehow after some period of time.

This means that if you don't take your pull after pump shutoff, you are leaving that fuel at the station.
