Can't pump gas in...??
The gas pump is not working!! I tried three different one and now I am sure its my car's problem because other people are not having problem pumping gas....

I think this happens because the tank isn't getting proper ventilation so the gas vapors are going back up to the pump and it cuts off.

Pure speculation (I don't know the design and what anti-theft measures the c-class has in the pipe), but It sounds like something is stuck in the refueling pipe (like LandSeaAir said when gas is coming up the pump shuts off so it doesn't overflow).
And if their an obstruction in the way so the flow gets restricted then it flows over if the flow rate of the pump is to high (think of pouring liquids down a funnel)
I know that a lot of cars have a magnetized(?) hatch that only opens when you let it get in contact with the fuel pumps nozzle, but that is directly visible so you would see if it was that.
But as stated, there is most probably some obstruction in the pipe with that behavior.

it's not the holes.. you crimped the breather hose.. the hose that vents gas fumes out the car.. so now your tank is full of explosive gas fumes ready to burst.. you better take your seat out and see what is what
all this because exhaust drone? lol why get the exhaust in the first place.. sorry just my humble opinion

It's all taxes as you well know. Comparing gas prices from place to place is not useful without excluding all taxes.

Yeah the big difference is the taxes ofc.
But if you see to an average income after taxes the prices of gas is still much higher for the swede compared to the american.
In the end its always about what you have left in your pocket that matters.
