Like yours, PHEV's two are in perfect alignment throughout the summer, but when the weather turns chilly, they're just a couple of miles apart at the base. Therefore, temperature affects the material they are constructed from.
Negligible ones, though, can be negligible. I beheld a 22-inch bronze plate that was, in fact, shaped like a banana. Poking your fingers through the opening would be quite an adventure. Those people who were pushed out by the fuel filler aren't the same people, in my opinion.
