Speaking of gas... For some reason gas pumps get stuck in my filler neck quite often, anyone else?

It happens to me at least half the time I put gas in the car and it happens at different stations. Takes a good jerk to get it out. I always forget to ask if anyone else has had this issue. Never had one stick ever in any car I've owned (20 years) up until this S4.

Try using just the nozzle on the end of the hose instead of the whole pump.

Seriously, no more problem w/ S-4 than any other car.

Default A lot of our pumps require the nozzle to be pushed all the way in before they pump to avoid fumes...

The mechanism is a pain in the *ss. Some pumps you need to physically push in and hold to activate something for it to pump or it wont. Doesn't sound like anyone has had any issues. It's just that it takes such a forcefull yank and or twist to get it out that I'm woried about creating a spark...doh! Maybe I'll run it by my service advisor next stop.
