I can't feel up the gas either. It's slippery. 
But the pump shutoff would be annoying. Have you tried putting the nozzle in, then tipping the handle upward at the back, like you're pouring a glass of water or something? That helps me fill the truck up faster. 30 gallons is a bugger, and when it clicks off all the time it's worse. If I don't tip the handle up the pump won't shut off until I have gas all over my shoes too (makes the drive home more fun though).
