I recently had the same problem with my 2013 Fusion hybrid in Oregon. The gas jockey could only get a gallon in even though I was down to half a tank. I thought he was doing something wrong and tried myself, to no avail. When I got into the car I found that although I had turned the ignition off the car was still in "Drive".
As I have had no problems since I think you must be in park, park brake set and ignition off to prevent this problem. Cheers, Peter Rose.

Some vehicles do require you to hold the nozzle at a specific angle to be able to fuel it. Weird, huh? On my Crown Vic, once you insert the nozzle into the filler tube, you have to turn the handle to about the 5 'clock or 7 o'clock position (rather than straight down), or you will spend lots of time trying to fill 'er up. I looked underneath and figured it was because of the sharp turn the filler tube makes.

This time around, the Fusion Hybrid averaged 41.8 mpg after 285.9 miles of driving (201 miles last year) in mostly bumper-to-bumper traffic with speeds averaging 24.8 mph.
