I don't want to tell you how many times --no matter how long I left the nozzle in the tank opening after finishing -- only to have a drop - or more -- of gasoline land on the paint.......drove me nutz.

A former co-worker of mine had a Porsche Boxster with the fuel filler in the upper part of the front fender. He'd pull the pump out, flip it upside down, and then take it away from the car.
I used the same trick with a friend's Crossfire. Never spilled a drop.
I bet the top-fill was nixed as a cost cutting measure. That decorative gas lid costs quite a bit more than the traditional stamped steel gas door, along with the engineering to change the configuration from the other Zeta cars. :(
