4. I pull out mid squirt and leave fuel all over my paint and the ground.

In my eyes there is quite a lot of difference between the quick "tap tap" to avoid the drips on the paint, and shaking the freaking hose dry from up above your head trying to scam every last drop you can!

Also whats with people who put $10 bucks or less of petrol in, and do it daily??!!!! Why not just fill up in 1 go! Do they think they collect bonus drips from the bulk number of fills!!!???? Sheesh!!!


What he said. ^^^^^^
