PS Every poll I've read, 80% never tips, and the other only when the weather is bad or the attendant did extra service.

Most don't tip because we are fully capable of pumping ourselves, so if you insist on doing it for us, do it. If you frequent the same gas station - you can leave a decent tip during holiday season.

I never do. Most of them act as if they're doing you a favor but it's the only way you can fill up in NJ.

My 2016 RX causes a dull tapping/helicoptering sound which comes from the rear. This happens when I fill up the gas tank to full @ the first click (I never fill beyond the first click). It occurs when the car’s gas tank is full, and I am stopped on a slight upward incline, with the transmission in Drive mode.
If you think you have this problem, try stopping your car on a slight upward incline with the gas tank full.
Has a solution been found yet??

I found this Technical Service Bulletin today from Lexus USA. It looks like there is a fix for the knocking noise that occurs when the fuel tank is full. On my vehicle, this has been occuring when the gas tank is "just full" and not overfilled.

Not sure if there is a similar TSB in Canada.
I wonder if you have to go in with a full tank so that they can make the diagnosis??

I was asking as if bought used the previous owner could have overfilled the tank allowing fuel in the carbon filter till it stopped functioning as intended.
Obviously this was not the case, the only thing that comes to mind is fuel delivery system, pump or injectors, can't think of anything else.
