It's not just one gas station, it's about one out of every three that I
try. I'll have to experiment to see if the problem is just that the pumps
are too high--if so, I can predict which ones will work and take that into
account when choosing stations. Or I could just jack the car up every time
I want to fill it...

OK, where do I find the URL for the list's FAQ? If you don't have it off
hand, I can probably find it....
Thanks for the help
