Is anyone in California having trouble filling their gas tank with the new
fill nozzles with the vapor boot compression requirement? My '05 Prius
won't let the nozzle go deep enough to satisfy the compression spec, so the
nozzle cuts off delivery. What can we do about this?

Sorry. It works fine for me on my '05 - but then I'm used to the nozzles in
California when used on motorcycle tanks and gas cans being more of a
problem than the Prius fuel filler.

You can hold the boot back a bit while filling so you can see the silver of
the nozzle. That may help. I need to do that on a motorcycle or lawnmower
gas cans else it just keeps kicking off the nozzle. It also may be the
nozzle your station uses so it may benefit you to find another dealer.

New? I haven't noticed anything new at my stations.

No, but there's cappuccino across the street. I'm down by San Diego.
