"taxis in South Africa actually bring a piece of wood for under the right
rear tire to raise that area up while filling the tank."

I tend to squeeze all I can out of a fill up too. What I've grown accustomed
to doing especially on long trips, is stop a little more often, before I
NEED it. Probably related as much to my small, 61 year old bladder as
anything about the van.
