When pumping gas, most stations around here (California) have a little latch you can push to dispense gas and let go of the handle.

… when you use that latch, does it pump slower? Is it supposed to?

I always feel like it does but figure it’s a reasonable question for here.

Thanks folks!

    I’ve seen those same latches all across the US and I can certify that the gas usually flows slower when latched.

    But it’s not because it’s designed to flow slower, but that the latch holds the tube open in a more closed position than when your hand is squeezing the handle.
