Why do gas pumps slow down with 50 cents or more to go when paying for gas first?

It used to be to avoid giving you any more gas than you paid for - it's easier to stop a slower flow, so the last 5-10 cents were slowed down. But gas stations now set the pump to slow down much earlier - sometimes with more than 50 cents left to pump - because they want you to get impatient and leave early, thereby pumping less gas than you paid for and giving them more profits.
