    I have wiggled my own “fuel hose” every bathroom visit, for decades of my life. But also, the most I’ve ever done in any driven vehicle, was to raise the hose up over the nozzle, so the remaining bits of gasoline could drain into the fuel tank and not onto the ground. And even that was the severe minority of gas station visits! I don’t think this behavior is that common, even among penis-havers…

      I used to do the tip pour to get the last drops out of the fuel pump head. But i still had drop going down the side of my car, so i started shaking the nozzle as i tipped it.

      That being said, i still occasionally get drips from the nozzle. At this point I think I’m going to have to find the fuel pump’s taint and press on it while squeezing the hose. I guess the pumps in my area are reaching middle age

        But… if the cutoff is in the handle the part of the hose that hangs below it could have liquid resting in it! At least that’s the theory. Like I said, I never noticed much of a difference.
