Try a new gas cap. It probably isn't sealing properly.

its not your gas cap. its part of the emission system. do a search in the repair and maintenance section. "2way" i know for a fact has your answer, i cant remember the abbreviation of the valve that is most likely on its last leg in your car. i had the same issue. im guessing your cel is on too?

edit: its the EVAP purge VSV. search for it and you should find pics of its location and the proper plug that is supposed to go into it. its its all plugged in right, the part might be about to croak

well mine was an easy fix. it was pointed out to me that the previous owner put the wrong plug on the evap vsv, so it was just a matter of swapping the plugs. after that, no issues whatsoever when filling up. but, if its all plugged in right, you'll need to buy another evap vsv. id def check with 2way and see, but im pretty sure thats been the source of the problem in most cases.
