I like that idea! My motorcycle has a 2.6 gallon tank, so if I pump enough to fill it or top it off will the gas station refuse my money?

What a bunch of f’ing controlling creeps.

Actually almost all pumps around here (Indiana) are either swipe your credit card or pre-pay in cash.

So you're gonna pay for a 4-gallon minimum no matter how much you pump.

You have to drink the rest.

My Yamaha tank holds 1.9 gallons...

0.5 gallon on the ground to clear the hose.

1.9 gallons to fill the tank.

1.6 gallons on the ground to get my money’s worth.

I'm not sure people are reading this the right way. Here's the pertinent section (IMHO): ... require that at least four gallons of fuel be purchased to prevent vehicles and engines with smaller fuel tanks from being exposed to gasoline-ethanol blended fuels containing greater than 10 percent ethanol.

That seems to me like the minimum purchase is a counter-measure so people with smaller tanks (like your 2.6 gallon one) DON'T buy the E15 gas. Probably with a BIG sign on the tank saying "Minimum 4 Gallon Purchase" to act as a final warning. I'm not saying its a good idea (amounts to protecting you from yourself ... typical Nannystate philosophy), but that seems to be the crux of it.

Ethanol won’t be going in my Hummer or my BMW if it remains possible. Though I was stuck once at an Ethanol only station.

I bought just enough to get me to the next station!
