People are strange animals
Let me just say that if the gasoline fills the tank & no more, it remains in the tank
If your tank is full & you give another bit of fuel, there is a good chance to the gas will enter the hose that goes directly to the Charcoal Cannister, if that happens once or twice, you may get away with it, but you are eroding the Charcoal that is in the charcoal cannister,
Once that charcoal is deteriorated enough, you are going to see the EVIC light up & you will be replacing your charcoal cannister.

For many of us, we round up the cost shown on the pump, this does not usually hurt any part of the truck, but it might.
The reason that i stopped doing it was because of the chances of Fraud with the credit card charges.
Many people will walk into the gas station & charge $50 for fuel & get $50 in cash or something similar. The credit card companies hopefully let you know that you should call them if it is fraudulent.
At the pump, say you just pay at the pump & get $40 dollars worth of fuel & then drive away.
When your bill shows up, there are 2 equal charges of $40 & the credit card company does not catch it & you get charged.
It is not as likely to happen that way if you just let the pump stop at $40.03.
If the credit card company sees 2 charges of $40.03, they will definitely try to contact you & if they can't reach you right away, your card is cut off.
That happened to me when i was on a trip from coast to coast a couple of years ago
