Looks like this new 918 owner had an awful experience at the gas station.
Jalopnik has the story, apparently the driver started to move away from the pump + still had the nozzle attached to the car (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
The fuel filler is in the area near the sail pillar, and the twin hot exhaust exits are up top of the engine grille.
