Re: Lazy way to pump gas
as a former gas station employee i can assure you all that the auto-shutoff feature malfunctioning and pouring gas all over cars, people, and the ground happens much more often than most people think. i am also fairly certain that wedging something in the handle is far more likely to increase the likelihood of spillage than it is to help it, although it is certainly possible that it has no effect at all (it certainly has less of an effect than pulling up with your gas tank on the wrong side of your SUV and stretching the hose over the top of your truck so that it barely reaches your tank)
i would also like to add that if a gas spill does occur the chances that the gas station employee on duty will care enough to clean it up at all, much less in an environmentally responsible way, is quite low
