I've wondered the same thing. Citgo pumps here have only one nozzle. So as Gas is saying I believe is how much low test is in the pump and hose before you get the high test. I think you could figure out how much is in the hose and do a length times interior diameter = X. The pump part No clue
I try to avoid Citgo as much as I can as they are the only stations around here with the single nozzle but they are also only a mile from my hut.
HEY FIBER: How about a little engineering here:2thumbs:
Oh and who ever gets what high test I have left in the nozzle you're welcome

Here's what I would say...
Not 100% since that point of sale is beyond my general scope of work. However, if you ever saw the bottom end of a gas pump, the lower part, usually a metal flat piece where they display the gas station name or logo, just above your feet and below the pump handle. There is a small piping manifold there with electric valves that control from which tank line feeds the pump meter and therefor your handle. I would say that you are getting the gas from that point at your feet, up to where the hose comes out and the length of the hose. I tend to believe its about a 1/2 gallon. But I have little if no evidence to back that. If you were to pour it into a glass jar, you MAY be able to see a color change. However, that is not full proof as most of the time its simply light green in color. There is a distinct scent to the prem due to the additives to raise the octane. Further, there are no active ways to continuesly check octane thru a type of metering unit. The only way to check octane is thru spot checks.
But again, I would say no more than a 1/2 gallon.

All the pumps here are single nozzle and hose and now most have a sticker with 10% or less ethanol.
If a half a gallon is a good estimate and I would agree it might be thats another 20-30 cents we are getting screwed out of on our 2-4 gallon purchase.
I'm not concerned about the money as much as the product or should I say dog food.

A cylindrical shape that has a (in this case I.D.) diameter of .75 inches and a depth of 10 feet has a volume of:
Volume
= 0.00086875 cubic meters
= 868.75 cubic centimeters
= 0.0011363 cubic yards
= 0.03068 cubic feet
= 53.014 cubic inches
= 0.2295 U.S. gallons
(Less than a 1/4 gallon)
= 0.86875 liters
* calculations accurate to 5 decimal places of precision
That's about 92 cents at $4 per US gallon.

Uhhhh what the fuck was that?
Gasman where are ya when I needz ya?
Try diz math on for size!!!!
MC2 (squared)=
We be fucked by the man! …….Twice!!
Just messin,
The way I see it these retards owe us a few billion bucks for freeing them and keeping them safe!!!!! They have a long way to go before they can help them selves so why don’t we help out selves to some reparations!!!!

Lets not forget the pipe/pipes to the hose.
