Yeh, I meant F, brain not working I guess. The only other driver is the
wife
and it is driven about the same every week. I tried getting more in it

the pump shuts off, but the pumps go just a few tenths of a gallon and
keeps
clicking off. The other car(not a Kia) is filled at the same station using
the different pumps with pretty consistent mileage.
