Default Re: problem putting gas in Prius

I have seen this problem also.

It tends to occur only at a couple gas stations, so I avoid them. I guess that the flow rate is too high and triggers the auto-off, but am not really sure. On two occasions I was nursing the flow slow slowly that I thought I could hear bubbling in the hose. The thought of filling up with air made me non too happy, but I did not see poor tank mpg to confirm it happened.

So far it is but an occasional annoyance. If every fill-up becomes a grind no matter what station I go to, I'll take the car to the dealer.
