Got the first two precisely, $0.25 and $4.23 but no way I was waiting for the $42.xx one however.

definitely needs a hold-clip feature, eg the button 'sticking' if you drag out of it? and show the current total in the title to simulate getting back in your car and peeking out at the display

Also it automatically pops if you have a Volvo, at least that’s what happens whenever I pump it.

Literally any car should do that, the clip works based on pressure - once the tank fills up the clip should bounce back, regardless of what car you drive.

I think trevcanhuman is saying that the clip does not work well with his car. I had a '99 Camry that became a real bear to fill up around 2019 with the newest pumps.

Indeed, you are correct.

It is a Volvo S60, 2016 or 2015 I think. So this shouldn’t be a problem, yet, it is. Even if you’re pushing it with your own finger, it pops out less than half of the tank full. Pretty weird. Does this at every gas station I think.

That's where I bailed too.
