I'll certainly "top off" if I'm going to use it immediately; like you said, that much longer before I have to refuel. If the car is going to sit in the sun, though, and possibly dribble expanding fuel, I won't "top off" quite so much.

This could mean a pint or quart difference...

It could mean a helluva lot more than that. On my past MBs, after the first
auto-shutoff I could get at least another gallon in if I dribbled it in
until I could see it. Which is what anyone would do if they wanted to do an
accurate consumption test.

Yes, I know that the list deitys (here and on the R/E list, even) have said
"don't top off" but it's another 20+ miles before I'm in the gas station
again. So, I always do it.
