for many reasons but the main one is because by topping off your gas tank after the pump automatically turns off can damage a vehicle emissions system that re-burns fuel vapors.
The pump is designed to turn off when the fuel reaches a certain level, leaving room in the tank for the emissions system to operate correctly.

now, I underlined the word "can" because I've yet to see this problem occur but this is what the manufacturers and mechanics tell us can happen.

From personal experience I have never experienced any problems from topping off after the pump stops. (Knock-on-wood). I have done it for many years and most of my cars have gone way over 100,000 problem free miles.

I never let my tank run empty....always @ 1/4 of the tank, cause we have an in-tank fuel pump and the fuel is what helps cool it, just trying to prolong its life.

My gas meter broke.

I rely on my tachometer to tell me how many miles I drove on that tank.

If it is all highway I usually stop to full up around 230-250 miles depending on how aggressive I drive.

Everywhere else I fill up at around 200 miles.

Most of the time I usually fill up about 10 gallons each time.

I had my gauges checked but it seems like its a sensor problem within the tank itself.
