I always finish filling the tank by hand, with as little flow as possible & listening for the sound of the gas moving up the filler tube and beyond that first auto-stop of the pump.

Yup, I'm on meds for that level of OCD.

BTW, in the first 3 weeks of owning my new-to-me car, I'm averaging 24mpg with roughly 60% hwy / 40% city driving, most of those being the morning and afternoon commute.
My sister also has a 235i. I swapped cars with her for a few days to see what kind of gas mileage this one ends up getting. 24mpg sounds about right
