        People reading the responses curious for an answer: There's a tiny vacuum in the nozzle. When gasoline blocks the air flow, nozzle blocks.

        There's a tiny goblin in the nozzle that watches for when the gas is full, he's a cousin to the refrigerator door light goblin.

        Who fills up their tank? This article is poor-shaming and normalizing the 1%. (I know it's "satire" still offensive and outrageous).

        I follow @TheOnion for laugh breaks in my Trump-infested Twitter feed. Gas nozzle piece was a real giggler. Thanks Onion!
