I pretty much never turn off my cars when I fill them. It started when I had a few cars in a row that didn’t like to restart after getting gas, or after driving for a while, and the habit just stuck with me. I’m legitimately not sure why we are told to turn the engines off when fueling, I’ve heard plenty of explanations but none make sense when you pick them apart. I haven’t even had a car that throws an EVAP code for the gas cap, though I’m sure it can happen.
Different vehicle classes have different tariffs. It’s why the Subaru Brat was sold with jumper seats in the back, so the import tariffs were the same as a passenger car instead of a small pickup. The US also has a requirement for any car sold to be crash tested here and to meet certain standards. In other countries the car companies are allowed to sell more freely.
On the other hand, I thought the Panda was supposed to be sold here
