nah our minimum wage is around the $12-13 mark, and im happy to say im over that, couldnt afford to run the Jeep, or other car for that matter if i was! lol!
coinsidentally, i had a spash back today, but before hand the pump was intermitantly cutting out, so dont know if its related, but all our fuel is pumped by hand here, there are no auto-pumps as far as im aware, and i have never seen one, or a garage with staff other than in the cash kiosk tbh! lol!

yeah....mine has done it since day one so I doubt something is clogged. I just learned that when the pump shuts off....IT IS FULL!!! no more squeezing in that last .27 cents to make it an even dollar!!

I NEVER squeeze anything extra in. And up until the last two weeks, it has never happened. Now it has happened four times in a row. Something has changed.
Thanks for all the ideas. Any more?

Same thing happened to me the first time I filled up...
The pump stopped. I tried to put the last drop as with any car to round up the price...
Looks like when it stops automatically, you should not put more!
I fill manually everytime and stop when it stops now...
Anyway, what's the difference between 104,53$ or 105$??? ½$...
It's still more than 100$ !!!!!
10-4.

Well, I put it in using the slowest nothc, and no back flow. Why all of a sudden is the speed a problem when it NEVER has been before? Thanks to all!

GOT A FIX!!!
this happened to me too...turns out their are some bad vent tubes on some of the gas tanks. I had to have my gas tank swapped out. Problem solved!! Covered under warranty too...
All the dealer has to do is a pressure test, thats what mine did...and bingo they found the problem.
Hope this helps for some of you.
