i have the same car, the same year, the same problem. if you drive the tank very low on fuel, the vapors are trying to escape at the same time you are filling up. the problem gets worse the more you do it and the hotter the temperature is out side. use the low setting on the pump when you are at the gas station when you first start to fill up. listen for the gurgle sound. if you hear it stop pumping and stand back so it doesnt spray back out on you.
