ever since EPA or someone did something to the nozzle angle (im suspecting) ive been having issues filling my G to full. some pumps would auto shut-off around 80%, some will go all the way up to near 100%..

and it's not the filler problem some folks were having on these cars, mine will fill to full at the right pumps.

my Z has showed no issue of this using the newer pumps nozzles.

Maybe it's a state thing? Literally every station here auto-stops 2-3 gallons short of full. Then they do that trickle stop every 20 cents so it takes longer to pump the remainder than the original amount.

It's all for dumb people who don't know gas tank volumes. Way to hard for people to read the owners manual.

Limo company booked me a shared ride to the airport this morning.....I don't know why they would considering I've only used them twice a week every week for 3years and never got a shared ride...

Anyhow, Car shows up and there's already two people in the back and driver asks me to get in the front. I look and the seat is all the way forward and ram rod straight. Had it been only one other passenger or something bigger than a midsize, I'd deal with it. I tell him no thanks, get my bag out of the trunk. Ended up driving myself to the airport and had a nice call with the manager of the company on the drive. I'll be taking my business elsewhere, too many issues lately.

Thank you all! He was born on Saturday after a very trying labor with lots of difficulties. We'll be in the hospital until Wednesday so I'm taking advantage of all the help.

could be.. yah, it is annoying on my G as she is a gas guzzler in traffic... like my commute in the G is like 12-13mpg. i much prefer to get all the fuel in the tank so dat i dont have to keep filling her every faking week...

my fit with its 9gal or 10gal tank can go almost 2wks for me and fill up is like $18-20?

He has been resting for the past 9 months. Send the little bugger to school or better yet. Get a job! No more free rent!

Blue 370z base at National today. They wouldn't give me my corporate rate on it . Thus I shall beat on this 2016 Chevy traverse. 5 miles on the clock.
