Are you serious about being able to tell the difference?
And about not filling full tank - assuming you're filling half tank, that's about 8.5 gallons; at about six pounds a gallon you're saving 51 pounds. If your car is an AWD it's about 3700 pounds so that's less than two percent of the total weight. Can you really feel the difference?
While we're at the the topic of "feeling the difference" don't you feel the Free Surface Effect when accelerating on a less than full tank?

Its all in your head bro...there's gonna be no measureable difference between the two styles of pumps. Diesel and E85 have their own over here...but I don't care where I fill up. And actually I prefer to "mix it up" with the stations I refuel at. I like the fact of giving the fuel system a variety in its diet I guess. Lol!

the reason why i open this thread is every time i fill gas on my 350 (premium grade is recommended) on a single nozzle,i noticed a difference in acceleration compare when i used the separate nozzle filling with the premium grade,i usually don't fill my tank full so i can have a lesser weight and better acceleration,so is there any other member here noticed this kind of situation?
You get, at most, about 10 ounces of the "previous" gas pumped.
Let's say you're putting 15 gallons of 93 octane gas in the car. And the previous guy pumped 87.
That's 1920 ounces.
1910 of which are 93, 10 of which are 87.
Giving you a final octane of 92.96875 instead of 93.00
In a car, by the way, whose ECU is programmed for 91 or better (and can make no use of the "better")
You're imagining any difference.
Lmao Kurt. Good one. I've only use Shell Vpower since day one. Its my personal opinion. Doesn't matter if it has one nozzle or three. My tech even commented on how clean my valves were when it did the valve spring recall. Vpower all day.
Interesting thought, never really thought about this much. As far as I can tell, there has never been a difference between pumping gas from a single nozzle compared to three separate nozzles.
