At any gas station these days they have the _auto stop_ feature right, you sort of hook the gas lever so it continues to push gas, while you can stroll around the look at your car... and then when the tank is full it automatically clicks off... know what I am talking about?
Well, first time, I had a pump that would make the click sound and stop when the tank was half full. at which point I had to manually keep pressing the gas lever - and it would click off even then after pumping in a little more gas - sort of like what the pump should do when the tank is already full.
I know its half full because I only put in say 8-9 gallons. and this same thing happened today again when it stopped at 8-9 gallons at the pump. and did the same auto click/stop even when i tried it manually.
anyone else notice this, how should I be pumping gas...?
its all 91 Octane FYI.
thanks

I've had this happen in NJ, where we have the same vapor collection system that California has. I simply insert the nozzle upside down so the lever is above the nozzle instead of below. This changes the angle the fuel enters the pipe, presumably reducing backsplash. I've never had a problem doing it that way.

I've filled up about 8 times already (I barely hit my 1 week mark. 
Well, a week and 2 days.) and I don't seem to have this problem. I do the back off thing almost everytime because that's how I learned... I'm not having any problems yet but I'm a bit worried now since a couple of you guys are experiencing things.
