The only reason any of us that did the "fill to the brim" was to get accurate fill data that you can't get any other way. As a bonus most of us got record distance on a few fills like that with +60mpg.

It is not a great idea to make a habit of that as there is a check valve in the fill pipe that can be damaged with repeated events and also fuel in the evap canister will be trashed with raw fuel if that valve fails or leaks.

I keep the nozzle at 12:00 and stop filling after it shuts off the 1st time. It's a total wast to go one or two more clicks and serves no purpose.
