Car driversOnce you've finished pumping petrol and before you return the hose, grab the pipe near the pump and raise it slightly to allow the petrol in the hose to enter your tank rather than leaving it in the u-bend shaped hose.
A bit of maths shows that a 7ft length of one inch-bore hose will hold about a litre, give or take.

Sadly......the valve is in the nozzle, not the pump, so the fuel in the hose won't flow out. So you'll look like a pillock and everyone will laugh at you.
On the positive side, the lifting action will give you a small amount of exercise, thereby giving you marginally better arm muscles with which to hit members of the laughing crowd.
