Gas will bubble back when filling the tank if the gas is going in too fast. In most filler tubes for newer vehicles, there is a mechanism that prevents siphoning. If the gas gets trapped in this mechanism, it cannot handle the volume and it might spit some of it back.

Gas tanks don't release air when refueling. When you remove the gas cap, any pressure in the tank is released. If you're referring to gas "spitting" back out when pumping, try squezzing the pump handle a little less to slow the flow of gas into the tank.
