When pumping gas, at what number do you stop?
 

Pet Peeve of mine, I have to round up and finish at an even number for amount of gas.


$15.55 or $16, not $15.42 or where ever the pump stops at.


Who else has the same quirk :rolleyes:

Wherever it stop is good enough for me.

I used to round it up …..but got tired of splashing gas on me.
Now I just stop where it stops.
Plus it says that on the sign. You must obey the sign!

I look at the gallons, not dollar amount.

I used to try to stop at a nice round number long ago when I reconciled my accounts by hand. I have been using Quicken since the 1980s and I just download all transactions pretty much any day I venture out. Click a few buttons, make sure they are my charges and nothing bogus, and click accept. Done in seconds and balanced to the penny.

I quit caring about the price or the amount of gas I buy long ago. I just fill er up, and go. Gas is so cheap right now it is hard to believe.

right, since i quit paying cash i quit looking. i used to do it solely to prevent a pocket full of cambio.

I try to stop at a catchy number, like $38.99 or $42.22, so when I see it on my credit card I’m pretty sure it was me using the card.

I was on a road trip years ago and I don't remember what state it was, maybe Arizona. Filling up a G body 911 can be a pain at some pumps. It started pumping and it shut off at 2 gallons. I knew it was near empty and I was going to need 18 or 19 gallons. The guy on the speaker kept saying don't top off. I had no idea he was talking to me. I filled up, spilled no fuel, and then went inside to get something to drink. The clerk was mad that I "topped off" and I said I knew I needed full tank of gas and I was not even close to full when the pump stopped that one time after 2 gallons. I left and I have never been back to that station! ;)

In the past, I always just rounded up to the nearest dollar. I think I've stopped doing that in the last 4-6 years. Now I just wait until the pump kicks off.

Just a tick too late , right after it spits back out the filler neck at me . At least in my diesel . Big foamy mess, right on my shoe

How would you feel about this?

Coming from the land of full-serve, this was a pet peeve of mine when gas was right around the $1 mark and before the prevalence of credit cards for everything.

More than once i had to tell the attendant to knock it off when the pump stopped at $20.25 and he wanted to shove another 3/4 gallons into the tank to avoid making change with coins.

I'm too busy cursing at "gas station tv" to care about the numbers. Can't even turn off the sound on some of them now. Oh- Look Mariah Carey has a new christmas album. Hey gas station tv- got any quick karate tips for this indigent guy holding his wanker and yelling at me from the sidewalk? Nope? Just a Techron ad? Thanks for nothing! Eff' you gas station TV!!!!!!!:mad:

I always aim

for a number in the complex plane

Back when I had my old '88 targa, that didn't bother me at all. You could fit darn near $2 worth of gas in after the pump stopped. I didn't try to, but sometimes got the gas right up to the restrictor in the filler neck.
