Default misfiring and filling up

This is 3 weeks in a row now. When I go and fill my car up with gas, the car will start to misfiring for a few minutes and then go away. It only happens after I fill the car up. Anyone heard of anything like this?

Are you "topping off" the tank when you fill it?

If you use a filling station that slopes steeply away from the filling station (where the drivers side is sitting much lower than passenger's side) it can cause you to top off the tank without realizing it. The sensor that stops it isn't trigger at the proper level.
