Out of curiousity, why not just "full"?

Yeh but why would anyone want to do that? I can understand asking for
"full" or for $10 worth, but why would anyone want to ask for 2 gallons?

What *I* don't understand is those 1-litre petrol cans. I mean, how far
can you possibly drive with 1 L of fuel??

Well, with a gas station attendant, that may be OK. I usually pay cash,
and you often have to pre-pay, so it becomes a headache to overpay, and
then return to get the change. When I pay with a CC, then it's not a
problem.

Full works with a gas station attendant. With self service, they often
want you to prepay if you pay in cash (which I usually do). That becomes
a headache.

OK. So why not full? Or some number of dollars? How does some number of
gallons prevent you from having to go in and get your change?
