So I just took a long drive to LosAngeles. Stopped at 2 gas stations and noticed something semi disturbing. Seems like the gas tank puked some gas up and rested in the inner lip of the gas recepticle. It smelled like gas, but it looked reddish-brown, and about 1-2 ounces worth. I soaked it up with some paper towels both times and the car runs fine. Is it the pressure on the gas cap? I have one of those after market key-locked gas caps.
Questions:
1. Where does this come from and why?
2. Does it damage the engine in any way?
Off topic things I've noticed during the drive:
1. The Viper LOVES to be driven. The longer you drive, the better it drives (more responsive and power)
2. At 80mph in 6th gear with stock gearing... I got well over 20mpg (usually around 10mpg)!
3. For 400 miles, I saw 1 Aston, 12 vettes, and lost count of Mustangs... no other Viper.
4. Even when not speeding, people pull over to the slow lane to let you pass by.
