Been using this method for years with no problems.

This may work for some cars but I have never been able to get this method to work when filling up my motorcycle. I've had two bikes (Ducati and Kawasaki) and always had issues when the vapor-capturing rubber boot on gas pump was not available so I would always have to usually drive to gas station that had one. Possibly faulty pumps at certain gas stations and maybe user error on my part but some of my friends that ride motorcycles have similar issues filling up. Again much less of an issue in California then when I was living in NYC.
