Seriously? You want to try parking better (ie Closer) to allow the hose to reach.

I've never had a problem in 14 years of filling cars, the hose always reaches. Sure there's never miles of slack, but unless you're parking in the neighbouring pump area the hose should reach just fine

That's why they make the hoses the length they do - you don't need 5 foot spare hose to fill on the same side of the car
