I must be one of the luckiest drivers around and am living on borrowed time. I've driven over 1.2 million miles in mostly passenger cars (a few pickups and vans). I've filled to a visually verified point on nearly every fill up, and I've never had a vapor cannister go bad.

Thanks. I really have no clue if they are original shocks, my guess is that they are. The ride is very compliant even with the firmer treads.

As I said, I miss the extra fuel, gives a nice boost to your range, and it's great to have the consistency of a stuffed tank. But when they say do not top off, this is the reason they say it. For $300, I simply won't risk it anymore. I make up for that by filling up at the same pump at the same Texaco station every time. If for any reason I can't reach that pump before empty, I partial fill enough to get me home, adding up the numbers later on after I can complete a fill at my "home" pump. The idea being, same calibration and vehicle stance should breed better consistency.
