Thanks for the advice, but I DON'T try to top it off.  If you are holding the
handle, and the gas is flowing, when the auto-shutoff trips it is too late.
You hear the click and then you better jump back or you get wet shoes (or
worse, sandals).  I never try to top off my tank, that is part of my system
for checking the MPG.

If I hear the gas start to bubble up, I cut off the flow.  But a gas station
isn't always quiet enough to do that.  I do watch how many miles I go, and
try to calculate how much gas to put in before I have to watch out.  I just
get so jealous when other folks stick the hose in their car, click it on, and
go wash their windshields!  If I did that, it would be a mess, if not a fire
hazard.
