I know everyone has troubles with the gas price blues. I thought I'd share this info for the people that do not know it. Tips to make sure you get the gas you pay for! fill during the cooler hours and when the ground is cool. Storage tanks are below ground, the cooler ground- the more dense the gas. It's less filled with air. You will actually get gallon if it is cool. So gas up early morning or late evening. A 1 degree temp change is a big deal. When pumping, pump on slow not fast. This minmizes the vapors created while you pump. All hoses have a return vapor. They are being sucked back up into the underground tank. Most important fill up when your tank is half full/half empty. There is less air occupying the space to fill and will cause less air to remain. Also gas evaporates faster than you can imagine. Pipeline line storage tank have floating roof to keep out the air, gas stations do not. Another thing do not buy gas if the tankard is there filling up the underground tanks. They stir up the dirt in the bottom of it and it's all in the gas. That's it. I hope this helps you to save and get all the gas you pay for. Another thing have your fuel injection cleaned, it cost about $20 and will make your car run like when it was new...you'll get the same mileage as you did. Or you should. You would be surprised at how many people do not know they need to do this. Just talking to people for the last month about it has shown me this.
