Is it the way you hold your tongue, or what

The recent post about holiday makers northward bound reminded me of this. Filling the 4x4 regularly with petrol between Perth and Exmouth (boat attached) I have found is sometimes a tedious experience. At some service stations the petrol flows freely from the bowser where at others it shuts off after with anything more than a trickle fill rate. Minilya servo springs to mind as one of the tricklers.
What goes, is it me?

Pretty sure Minilya is slow
Pretty sure Minilya is slow so that you get thirsty waiting for the fuel and spend $10 for a coke once you get inside. How I love the 180l tank in the Prado.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Alan,
With the fuel you'd be burning through towing your boat (and gear), I'd be feeling it after about the 15th fill at Minilya also...

I'd rather watch a slow bowser than look at or eat the quality roadhouse food out there

the 180L tank of diesel in the prado meant good range and you can use the high speed truck pumps to fill up.
It was quicker to fill that 180L tank than it is to fill the 70L tank in my Hilux. If only I could get that 180L tank in my Hilux......
