Maybe move to Oregon or NJ where they pump the gas for you? That should lower your blood pressure too.

I have a 2016 C450 and have experiences no consistent issues at gas stations. However, I have experienced this in other vehicles. It is caused by back-pressure of gasses as the tank fills, which the shut-off sensors can mistakenly read as a full tank. My solution has been to insert the nozzle fully and then back it out and inch or so. This leaves some extra room for the gasses to escape, and worst case scenario just pump slowly. Hope this helps.

Never had a problem with this when pumping gas into my C450. It's been over a year now.
