    I like the rewards program. My 400 dollar GPS was bought in full with points, my new cooler too.

    I do it all the time. Even the ones that now have the chain across. I have like 3 or 4 free tire passes owed to me. If they say anything.. I'd just say Oh good.. I need my air checked. No one ever has.

    My plan is to act like I don't know what the tire pass is. Have them explain it to me. By the time they get done I should be too. Then just say no thanks and hit the road.

    I only fill up until the fuel reaches the top of the inner filler neck. That still leaves plenty of space for any expansion.

    The ones that irritate me are guys who stand there watching the fuel hose in his tank.. then when done... he finally decides its a good time to wash his windows, clean the bugs off his fenders, check the air pressure.. yup.. had a guy start airing up his tires after fueling.. right there in front of me.. like he is testing how far he can take it before I go in my side box and just bash his skull in with my cheater bar.

    The only time I've been intentionally slow is when I had that guy get in my face about me taking to long and he had barely got behind me.

    Lol, I cram that extra 10-15 gallons in to get as many rewards points as possible. :) If it were my own truck I probably wouldn't do that, primarily because it splatters fuel all over the top of the tanks and makes a mess, and also because if you're paying for the fuel it may be a waste of money to cram the tanks full if it's an "expensive fuel" state like Pennsylvania or Oregon.

    I would have told him something but he looked like someone's grampa so I didn't feel like I needed to be disrespectful to anyone's grandpa. And yea, I also waited for him to grab his arbys when I was done fueling since I had a truck waiting behind me. Obviously, I was very patient that day.
