vacuum in my gas tank (not the appliance vacuum)
the other day when i took my gas cap off to fill it up, the car sucked in a pretty significant ammount of air. Its never done that to me before, im wondering if such a thing is normal? It seems to be running 100%

You probably happened to open it at just the right timing where the EVAP solenoid opened and scavenged the remaining gas fumes in the tank just a few seconds prior to shutting the car off, creating a vaccuum. It happens on mine from time to time as well.
