Slow down! Most nozzles are set to pump gas at three speeds – slow, medium, and fast. Pumping at high speeds releases more gasoline vapors, which your nozzle pulls back in with a vapor recovery system most pumps are outfitted with. This means you could be paying for more gas than you receive. Pumping at a slower rate releases fewer vapors, which means you’re receiving more of the gas that you paid for.

When I got my vette almost 4 years ago I soon found out that you search for the oldest type of gas pump handles !!! Some of the very newest are hard to use because you have to hold and push hard or nothing comes out ,etc !!! Its even harder to gas my 1970 chevy Monte Carlo SS 454 because its hard to tell when its full or when you take the hose out it spills gas all over the place so again a couple of miles down the street where I live I go to the local 76 station with the old handle and spring !!!
