Default Car wont fill up/ poor mpg

Lately when ive been filling up the nozzle just clicks like its full and I have to keep hitting it to fill it up.. huge PITA, any ideas on what this might be? My mileage is also terrible im currently getting about 180 to the tank... i replaced my fuel filter and it didnt help, im gonna try seafoaming next... no codes or anything

As for the fill-up problem I had the same thing, you just gotta back up the nozzle a little bit, like a few inches...not in all the way. Worked for me.

As for the gas mileage it could be anything... lead foot, tune up, plugs, wires, air filter...

Maybe the evap/vent system is clogged.
That would contribute to the fill-up problem.
