Don't know about newage mate but my classic always has a bit of pressure when cap is released,if it is alot then it could be the vent to air is blocked.

Poss they al just do!!

the last 2 subarus ive had always made a whoosh noise when i filled up, i assume thats normal on these cars, guessed it was from going full tank to not much in it ( both were hawkeyes ) .Just sounds like a trait

They are not meant to have any pressure in the system,if they have the carbon cansiter system in full use, YET,mine is the same,go figure.

the carbon cansiter/purge control system is meant to illuminate this issue,but alas,it doesnt seem too.
