I've never had this problem in any other car--including a 1967 leaded-gas
BMW. Is there something wrong with my car that I should fix, or is there
just some technique that I'm missing? >>

If this only happens at one gas station, there is nothing wrong with your
car! It seems to me that the station has pumps that are set too high. If
you must go to that station, just pull the pump handle a little, and very
slowly. That should stop the high pressure splashback.
