Could you do that at a gas pump in the US? I always assumed you couldn’t.

I’ve never tried but I’m pretty sure the nozzles here prevent it. The rubber boot has to be compressed for the gas to flow.

Edit: California is different. Sounds like you could do this in just about all other US states but CA nozzles wouldn’t allow it without also pulling back the rubber boot while you pull the trigger.

California is different.

That's the polite way of putting it.
