Government requirements for 3/4" hosing (<=1.5hp stp's) is 10GPM. Filters can slow that to less than 2.5-3.0GPM! That's 4.5 MINUTES to fill your car up, vs about 1 min, 30secs at the correct flow! those Particulates don't get clogged as fast as the AD (water stopping) ones do, but still!
How can you tell if they use filters at the gas station? I never knew anything about this. Usually just fill up at the BP or Mobil by my house, been averaging 20.5/21.5 which I consider low. I alternate between short-shifting and pussyfooting it, and running it up to redline in 2nd and 3rd gear. Couple weeks ago i filled up with Sunoco 94 and it took FOREVER to pump the gas. My mileage went up to 23 so i filled up with Sunoco 94 from another station. 20.3 MPG on that tank. WTF?? I wish i could have consistent 23-25 MPG especially with prices the way they are.
