    Not too many years ago, Lamborghini stated in the owner's manual, explicitly not to top off. Due to the fact that the gas would overflow into the catalytic converter and burn the car down. For the American cars that is.

    Are you serious?

    Here's the cheat sheet: When you are filling up, let the nozzle auto-click and stop, and then pull the nozzle out. Don't keep filling up.

    If you need a cheat sheet for filling up then you probably shouldn't be operating a vehicle. :rofl::rofl::rofl:

    This about like the young lady checking me out at the grocery store last night and couldn't figure out how to keep a bag from ripping with three 1.5 liter bottles of water. After a couple of tries and ripped bags, I had to tell her to put less in the bag. :facepalm::facepalm:
