Early A=Gas Spiller!

Hey all, I caught this on the newsletter email thingy (I don't have the time to frequent here, unfortunately.. Darn teaching career..!)..

But, this is a sore spot for me because my car pukes the quarterpanel as well.. Here's what I do to fix it--

Take 3-4 sheets of paper towels from the paper towel dispenser by the window squeegee.. Put them all on top of each other, then fold in half, and fold in half again..

Fold one more time, rip in the middle about 1/2" and you've now got a splash-guard for the quarter [edit-- put the nozzle through the hole you just created with the small tear)..... I do have to hold the gas nozzle while fueling (I do this anyway-- I don't want a gas nozzle to eject on me in any car..), but it auto-offs almost every time.. I then throw away the square of paper and get on my way.. Wasteful? Probably.. But, the reality is I'd rather waste some paper towels than my quarterpanel :)

...has also twisted the paper towel around the nozzle but this was a much less effective method.. The paper-square works great for me..
