Me too.
Of course I only got to use the extension about 4 times before switching to
Mobil 1, so now I still need to carry a &*%# funnel.

On this same theme:
   I always had trouble distinguishing one heater control lever from
another without taking my eyes off the road.  When I bought my '91 I
discovered that the lever which controls the hot water has bumps on the
sides of the knob.  While I still had my '84, I checked and found that it
also had these bumps but they were smaller so I had not noticed them.
