What can I tell you, this works for me.
That does not increase your miles per gallon (MPG), but merely the number of miles you can travel on the tank (the range).

Additionally, the reason for the automatic shut-off at the pumps is to prevent both raw emissions and spillage. Bypassing that system is not helping your local environment one bit, and is illegal in many areas.
