Not sure if this should be in Motors or not since it's pretty random.
While filling up today, I was wondering whether the pressure you put on the trigger affects the amount of petrol that comes out. Obviously the more pressure that is put on the trigger, the faster the petrol comes out, but I've often noticed that if I slam the trigger all the way in straight away, the £ counter starts before I can hear any flowing liquid exit the nossle into the tank.
Does this delay happen when you squeeze the trigger lightly and pump the fuel more slowly?
I gues the main question here is this:
Is it more cost effective to pump your fuel slowly rather than quickly?
