Pulling the gas pump handle one more time after the nozzle clicks feels almost automatic for many drivers. That extra splash of fuel seems like a clever way to squeeze every possible mile from a tank. Unfortunately, that familiar habit can create problems that cost far more than a few extra drops of gasoline.
Stopping when the pump clicks protects both a vehicle and the environment. Modern fuel systems rely on carefully designed equipment that manages gasoline vapors, and overfilling interferes with that process. A simple habit change takes only seconds but can prevent expensive repairs and reduce unnecessary pollution.
