Ok, haven't been to a gas station yet with the new car. Are these things handy to use? I have also seen a mirror with a magnet? Don't want to overfill on my first run.

Gas Tank Neck Extension

Personally i do not have a need for those. I shake out the nozzle real well before lifting it to fuel up. After fueling i shake it out at the fill neck opening and then turn it upside down. I also never fill my tanks to the top, usually 3/4 is as high as i go. My paint is to valuable for me to get fuel on it, and another thing to watch is try not to get it on the raised portion of the tank where the cap screws onto. That can promote paint peel in that area.
Now yes there are folks that use the extensions>>>3~ Tudor's & 1~ Coupe

I have one of the extensions as out here we ONLY have those damned EPA nozzles and I can't hold all that hose up long enough to fill the tank. Made mine from a couple pieces of PVC pipe found at Home Depot.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!
