Default Protective mat for fuel filler

Anyone use one of these mats for their 992? I haven’t filled up yet, but I hate when I drip fuel on the side of a car.

I also want one because I live in NJ and can't pump my own gas. Instead, I hover over the attendant as he withdraws the nozzle.

I pick top tier gas stations by attendant not price. LOL.

I use a nice leather one that matches the interior truffle brown; it is a nice touch. With the gas entry area being lower than most cars it is a good idea to have one. There is a thread on here about where to buy them.

Just a little Avodart in the tank should solve the problem.

Is that custom or did you just put 911 as the initials?

Laughably, I just do a bit of the same motion with the nozzle I am sure a lot of us are used to doing a few times everyday anyway

But I'll try ordering one now.
