Overfilling/Gas fumes

Has anyone experienced stronger than normal gas fumes when the tank is full?? I have had to leave my garage door open when the tank is full.

hmm I haven't noticed that on mine... did you check to see if your cap is twisted on tight?
do you give it a few more clicks after the first one when you fill up??

There's a sure fire way of getting low gas mileage! That is not normal on any car - you need to get that checked out, the seal may not be working.

Evaporated gas does not contain CO - it's only when the fuel is burned that it produces CO
