There are certain pointless things we all do in our lives that we convince ourselves will make our day a little easier that actually make little to no difference at all. Some classic examples include setting three alarms even though we know we will snooze the first two and taking a packed lunch into work and going for a Greggs instead.
There is another thing to add to the list that many of us do every time we visit a petrol station that turns out to be a useless 'hack' and may actually be costing us more pennies instead of saving them, the Mirror reports. A post on social media caused an uproar after a Reddit user claimed holding the petrol nozzle up to get every last drop of fuel when filling up your car is completely pointless.
In response to a post about industry 'secrets', the unnamed author said: "Not really a secret, but the nozzle of a petrol pump is where the cut off for fuel is. Holding the hose up to 'get every drop' doesn’t do anything."
