Its expensive juice, I give it several taps and let every last drop out.  Also stops it dribbling down the bodywork  :innocent:

Watched some women filling up the other day and when she had finished she actually lifted the hose up to try and get every last bit... Not realising that it wouldn't actually pass through the nozzle without the trigger being pressed..  :stupid: :stupid: :stupid:

In my student days I used to work in a petrol station and that always used to crack me up.  Some people would really go to town holding that hose up and shaking it about ...

I'm the same but just go to the next pound.

I don't shake the nozzle as such, just tap it on the filler neck a few times to get rid of the drips :smiley:

A quick couple of shakes is enough.

I used to try and round up to the nearest £5 or whole pound but since I have the GTI, I just fill the tank every time. Especially since I usually end up buying a Fry's Turkish Delight too.

the cut off is in the nozzle so lifting the pipe makes no difference unless you press the nozzle which then pumps more fuel though and adds to the price.

Always worth giving it a shake, dont want to dribble - nothing worse than splash back
