Default Fuel foam factor

How do you guys deal with the foam at fill-up?
I have no idea how to minimize it except to wait a while and maybe rock the truck a little while filling.
I wonder if it really matters for mileage calcs muchas long asI fill up the same way each time.

There's a tank mod you can do.. just do some searching and you will find it.. I just fill it up on the lowest notch the pump has.. I figure the less force the fuel goes in with the less foaming will occur.. I typically fill at 1/4 tank anyway after getting about450 miles out of the tank so it's not a big deal to me.
