Can you find a pic of this? I'm having trouble picturing it. Two rods you mean that like hold the trunk up? Or the ones that hold that little privacy thing in place so you can't see what's in the trunk?
I'm saying every car we've had. I think most newer cars, especially ones with modern features, do this.
Ok, so #1, those are not rods under the trunk. I believe you're referring to the support arms for the trunk lid. The trunk lid is short; they want the lid to swing way up, so it won't get in the way when you're loading. If they did a hatchback, or a longer trunk lid, it wouldn't need to do this.
Someone is a bit picky this morning. I think that the saving them money and thus increasing their profit margin is the most likely explanation.
So when you said "underneath the trunk", like where the spare tire is, should not be confusing to anyone when you're actually talking about the trunk lid. Got it.
They are saving money to sell the cars at a lower price.
Yeah, for the past 20 years, we've had either convertibles, wagons, pick-ups, or SUVs. So no regular trunks either.
Mine will usually take $1-2 more. But I know in theory you are not supposed to top off. Maybe they made it such that that point is driven in.
How big is your tank? I spend like 3 minutes filling up mine (44l -- usually takes 37-40l).
I don't know liters (or litres). It's 16 gallons. My previous 3 cars (going back 20 years) have had 12 to 13 gallon tanks. So I'm not accustomed to putting say 14 gallons into the (not quite empty) tank at once. It's not really 10 minutes, maybe it's 3 solid minutes. But usually it's cold out, and when I'm getting gas, that means I'm on my way somewhere. I'm always running late, so I like just putting in 10 or 11 gallons and going.
Exactly. Who wants to stand around in the bitter cold, squeezing the handle on and off until gas spews out all over the car and my hands? What will that get you?
