My neighbor told me about a friend of his sits and waits until someone else pumps 91 e0 before he pulls up behind then to pump his, so he doesn't get the remaining e10 in the line. I have no idea how much that would amount to. If it's for a small jug for lawn equipment it could be substantial. Filling up my Caprice with 20 gallons, not so much I'm sure.
Oh no. You've opened a huge can can of worms for hand wringing anal retentive bitoggers! You are completely right that the multi selection pumps have a single hose. Let's say the ID is 1 inch and the length is 10 ft. That would be 94 cubic inches which is 0.4 gallons. Anyone looking for non ethane premium fuel like at Shell in Canada needs to pay attention to that, especially if you are dispensing into a small gasoline container. My local gas station has old pumps with only one hose per grade, so I don't have that issue.
