Update: Charcoal canister did not fix the problem. Now they are going to drop the gas tank and replace the valve to the tank. Fingers crossed.

If you are not getting a CEL [yet] then you can either live with the PITA of filling up (it'll get worse) or just fix it. It tends to be expensive although I don't know how it is for this car.
No, I do not top off. I have done so a few times but not the vast majority of the time.
