This is a step-by-step procedure that will ensure that you are refueling correctly.

1. When you notice that you gas light is on, proceed to the nearest gas station of your choosing. For the most part, they all carry the same gasoline, just branded differently. Also, some people suggest that waiting until your needle points to the "E" is a bad idea because your pick up screen on your pump will get clogged with any debris that is floating in the bottom of your tank. This is a ridiculous notion. Your pickup is always at the same level in relation to the bottom of your tank, so any debris that is sloshing around in their is going to have just as easy a time in finding the pickup as it did when your tank was full. It is however a bad idea to run a pump dry because your fuel actually cools the pump and keeps the pump shaft rpms low, and repeated dry running will eventually cause premature wear of your pump motor due to dry running.

2. Your filler door is on the drivers side(the side you sit in), so don't forget to pull up with the gas pump on the same side.

3. Shut off your car, and pull up(not down) on the gas filler door release. This involves turning the key counter-clock wise, and then locating the filler door release which is right in front of the seat you are sitting in.

4. Exit vehicle, and do not forget to engage the emergency brake.

5. Pay for your gas

6. Open gas filler door, and unscrew gas cap

7. Select gas grade, insert pump nozzle in filler neck opening, and depress gas pump handle to begin filling tank

8. Remove pump handle when gas shuts off automatically, and replace on pump

9. Screw down gas cap in filler neck and stop after it clicks 3 times

10. Close filler door

That wasn't so hard was it? If you have any questions, let me know. I'll try to update this thread later tonight once I get a chance to upload my photos, and once I figure out the torque spec of the gas cap.
