Sure enough, it had only filled it 3/4. Anyone else experience this as well?

Try turning the nozzle 45 or a full 180 degrees and filling. This is the old 911 trick to get it full.

Just tried this trick today and it worked like a charm! Filled it up how i normally do, waited until the pump clicked off, then checked my fuel gauge. It was only 3/4 full. So I turned the nozzle 180 degrees and continued to fill. Almost 2 more gallons went in! Tank full after that! Thanks for the tip again!
