Are you serious Apathy? Pumps have an auto shutoff feature.

Can't you override these by holding in the handle? The auto shutoff I'm familiar with, the auto latch pops.

With the gas cap jammed in, won't the auto shutoff not work?

No. None of these that I've ever seen have had the auto-shutoff associated at all with the latch thing. Every time when my gas gets done I have to undo the auto latch and then remove the pump. It's all done with the flow of the gas somehow. Presumably when the pressure increases by x against the flow, then it triggers it to stop. (Increase in pressure is created by the gasoline level getting high enough to reach the end of the nozzle.)
