YMMV, but I pump slow and can get 2-4 gallons extra fuel in the tank.

You are most likely filling up your charcoal canister and other emissions related crap. When I was big into VW TDI's we would fill the tanks with a bout 2-3 gals extra, and that would ride in the charcoal canister. Not very good for the environment because it saturates the canister but to each his own.
