I just put 4.221 gallons of gas in my PC!

Look down inside the gas filler neck, and you should see a curved wire
"doohickey" - that's the designated fill level for the tank. But everybody I
know fills the tank up into the filler neck, cramming extra tenths of gallons
into the "4.2 gallon" tank.

Be seeing you,

station and filled up.
