Drilled some holes into my bumper because we couldn't get it off, and put in some extra lights.

I was really excited, cuz my headlights are dimmer than dim, and I've got a pretty long drive ahead of me in a few days.

You know it's not safe to stuff in as much gas as possible?

There's a reason the pump clicks off when it does.

I usually only go to a half tank, but I wanted to see how much I could get. And I could've actually put more in if I kept clicking it. When I turned the key to drive to the station, my needle didn't even flinch.

Well, for one, once the nozzle clicks off, almost any gas that you pump into your vehicle flows right back into the pump, resulting in you paying for gas you're not getting. And we barely want to pay the high prices for the gas we ARE getting... riiiight?


Second, you need that extra little space for when it expands. If you top off your tank, the extra gas may evaporate into your Jeeps vapor collection system. That system may become fouled and will not work properly causing your vehicle to run poorly and have high gas emissions.
