I then get enormous satisfaction from burping the beast by rocking her gently a couple of times.
As for why, often I get another 8-10l in from when the pump first stops. 8-10l in the i40 is another 150-200k which extends the time before I have the hassle of having to stop for diesel.
Instead of brimming, which (other than economy games) does nothing more than potentially reduce the frequency of fills, focus more on filling early morning when it's colder. Then you'll get a bit more fuel past the pump for free - now that's the true definition of economy.
I'm with Beerman.Not physically, right now, but on this issue.8-10 litres means a couple of hundred kays and I don't like going to servos.I've brimmed since new and recorded every fill with relevant economy in the vehicle logbook, which hopefully will add 8-10 dollars on to its value when I sell it.
Precisely, hence I've never brimmed.

Gonz - modern fuel pumps (in the UK) have temperature monitoring and compensation in the metering circuit to ensure accuracy. Perhaps they haven't reached the full extent of our Colonies yet - but they will.
