+1 S.B.27 . The '07 PRIUS we had drove me nuts during fill ups . Took forever to fill during winter and summer since the bladder would get stiff ( shrinkage ) from the cold and the summer fills were difficult from the fumes kept in the bladder making the nozzle click off constantly . Also , on a few occasions the gas came gushing / spurting out thanks to unpredictable bladder . So , accurate fills were nearly impossible .

Which is the best argument I've ever seen *against* the idea of racial memory. One might have expected 3.5 billion years of evolution to have warned us against that particular engineering pitfall.
