It can mess up the vapor recovery system.

What does topping off really mean anyway? Do they mean not to pull up and fill it if it's already near the top? Or do they mean not to keep pumping when it's auto-stopped ? Gotta get those round dollar values, ya know?

If you lived in Oregon you would understand.

I hate when they top-off at the full-service gasoline station!

I do it all of the time, not once did it spill out after taking out the nozzle.

The product that they are dispensing is actually a liquid.

When I have gas I always top it off with a staccato machinegun fart medly. It makes me feel good.:Q

All you ignorant MoFo's need to learn that when you top off the gasoline to your car, some of the gas can be pumped back into the pump. So effectively you are losing money. Also, they don't like it because you can also spill gasoline if it overflows. So if you are going to top off, just top off like 3-4 cents to give you even change.

Get it? Got it? Good.

ignorant MoFo,

a) how the hell is the gas from my car going to end up back in the tank, where there is a 4300% chance of there being one or more check valves, and:

b) what about my gas station that lets you use a 'club card' that takes 2 cents/litre off the price and will bring it to some whacko amount anyway?

stfu

i once overflowed without topping off, valve in the pump never engaged

LOL if you didn't know, gas is short for gasoline. LOL

topping off increases the probability of gas spilling onto the ground. Gas spilling onto the ground increases the probability of blowing up the gas station

Mmmm, there's nothing like gasoline vapor to brighten someone's day...

What if it's natural gas?

I never really topped off my gas. I didn't see the benefit to having that extra bit of gas.
