haha, yeah mine does that too, it idles a little rough, I tend to overfill it, I think it clogs up the fuel pump because there isn't enough o2 to allow proper exchange for the fuel to get pumped, hence the injectors aren't getting the right fuel combo from the fuel line and the roughness. . .it cracks me up because I KEEP on doing this, just stay stop filling once it clicks.

I have an 05 and never noticed a difference, maybe because the guess adds weight you think it feels sluggish? Actually sometimes I think my car runs bad when its almost empty.... Make sure you "clicked" your gas cap when you closed it...
