After fueling, lift the hose with the handle still depressed to
get the gas in the hose below filler cap. Actually a person could
get a dollar in gas and almost another dollar free. Unless
the person in front of you has drained the hose as well.

I know you mean just emptying the pipe out from the pump to the nozzle but surely if you keep the handle pressed it will just keep pumping petrol?
Oh and I did this once and it added money onto the pump so I haven't done it since.
maybe your pumps are different to ours though.

It only works on pumps with a lever type switch. ( lift handle type)
when finished shut off switch at pump- re-depress nozzle handle,
gas in line will continue to flow from shut off valve to nozzle. loop in
hose has more. You are kind of ripping off the next guy to use the pump,
but who is to say the guy before you didn't do the same thing.
