I'm one of those Toyota guys who fills up opposite to the fuel door, I don't feel like fighting for pole position at the local Costco. At least in California, Costco wants people to fill up on either side.
Never understood why more gas stations don't use extra long hoses. Besides Costco I've seen them at Safeway gas stations. Possibly at other high volume gas stations like Sam's Club.
There used to be longer hoses on the old two hose mechanical pumps when a lot of cars had the gas cap behind the liscense plate. The hoses always laid on the ground out in the driveway where you could run them over if you got too close to the pump.
When did the start using lines that retracted? I've noticed that a lot of the shorter hoses omit that feature, but all of these long ones have those that automatically pull in the hose if the handle is placed back on the pump.
My parents drive a Buick Apollo that had the fuel cap behind the rear license plate. However, if was fairly easy to park it with the rear end close to the pump.
