While i was as writing it, i thought to myself surly i am not the only one who does this and decided to ask. I used ask500 (great service, and if you are on twitter integrates nicley @ask500) So I asked the world the following

When you fill up the gas tank, do you try to top off to an even dollar amount?

Here are the results

40% said they stop pumping when the pump clicks off

27% said they keep pumping until they get a nice even dollar amount (That is me)

12% said they pump until they get a nice amount (does not have to be an even dollar)

22% said they pump on a set budget x$ per pump

Great results, and very fascinating if one take a look at them by gender,age, etc… really cool stuff

How about 3 times

Well it happened again, so shame on me but i am so used to my old car. You know, you pull up to the gas pump and start pumping, and then when the gas tank is full, the thing clicks off.

Now i don’t know about you, but i have this thing where i want to keep pumping until i have an even dollar amount. So lets say i put gas and the tank took $29.37 well i deally i would like to keep pumping (slowly) until i hot $30 or at least a nice number like $29.50 or $29.75. Silly I know, but that is me, are you like that? I should do a poll on this…. hmmm

Anyway, here is my WARNING: Do not do this with your WRX.

Apparently when the WRX is full, it really means it. unlike my other car, i swear i can go for a whole dollar after its “full”. With the WRX, you got pennies at best.

3 times now. I am not kidding 3 times now. I am pumping, and while i am trying to watch the numbers on the pump, trying to make sure that i dont go over. Like, it will be a moral disaster if i hit $30.01. I look down, and gas is gushing out of the tank. All over, what a mess. And now I am all worried that forever more i have damaged the car :) because it has gas spilling over it. Off i go into the car wash again…

On the possitve side, i must have the cleanest WRX265 out there :)
