I do the same thing as your ex and am going on 29 years married.  I usually
run the gas in at full force until it shuts off the first time and then go
slow till it starts to run out the filler.  I can get three more gallons in
the Dodge mini-van that way, less in a Vanagon.  If  I don't fill it up this
way, the number of miles I get per tank varies widely, based on how the
sensitive the shutoffs for the nozzles are.  This process takes a bit more
time, but helps extend the time between fillups, which is often too short.
