    That looks bad. Very bad. And not the good kind of bad. What are you trying to do?

    You guys are so diplomatic. I think this site sums it up well:

    Why Overfill?

    Seriously, you get no better mileage overfilling, and risk expensive non-warranty repairs.

    First pump click, second click, round to nearest 10 cents or full litre then hang up nozzle. I don't like petrol stains on my paint.

    You got pretty close to gas vapor with that digital camera. Glad you are still here and not in the burn unit.

    Hey, let's play 'my tank's fuller than yours'. It's not going to expand once it warms up, is it? Spill all over the car and evaporate? Ruin the charcoal canister? Explode in your face as you're taking the picture? Where are the Darwin awards when you need them?

    The full-full tank won't help you unless you have to drive 600+ miles with no chance of finding gasoline.

    Who needs to fill up the main tank and destroy it when you can buy a 2 gallon red plastic gas can that does the same thing? Just hide it in the secret compartment in the trunk....
