65 Barracuda daily driver
I guess most of us probably hate getting gas on our paint. I've tried the reducer thing that you can put in the filler tube, but that didn't make much of a difference.
What I found out works is using a rag and wrapping it around the spout. Just loosely and just once around. I've tried paper towels, but they don't work that well. Shop towels can be ok, but with the rag you won't have a drop on your paint. And you can re-use it.
Also, I can report that my gas mileage seems to have improved. A few weeks ago I was driving essentially highway only and got 16.5 miles a gallon. Since the timing change and recurving the distributor and installing the FBO ignition box I got 11.3 mpg. There was some highway driving, but I also stomped on it quite a bit to test the timing and obviously because it's so fun. I'll keep an eye on it.
