So - you don't wait until the nozzle clicks or anything? Just arbitrarily stop pumping?

Yeah, but I rarely fill up all the way regardless.

Some people have to budget how much gas they can fill at once. Maybe the budget allows for $30 a week, so they stop at $30, or in OP's case something random like $28.73.

Alternatively, if you prepay at the counter, instead of handing them an even $30, you could hand them $29.39
