Hi Adam
I would think it might be bad gas, even when the noozle clicks off I give it a few more pulls and have never had that problem. Maybe someone else can shed more light.

Leaving the station after one stop, the car started hesitating and even died at a light.  Any suggestions, anyone?  I know I shouldn't have overfilled it.  Where is the fuel filter located?  The car has been otherwise running beautifully.
It is hesitating and the engine stopping intermittently.  Has anyone had a similar problem?
 
Please help!
 
Sincerely, 
Bonehead
