Probably the reason? Probably? It is the reason.

It's probably because you put regular unleaded in there. The cap isn't designed for it, loosens it right up. Regular is extra slick compared to premium... all the impurities.

Tangent: Do they even sell leaded gasoline anymore? Is there still a need for disambiguation?

Good point. For the record I'm actually running my RX-8 on nothing but leaded paint these days. Green to be exact.
