Saving Money on Gas and at the Pump.

As we all know gas prices are climbing higher and higher.Recently though I came acrossed four ways
to ease the pain at the pump.They seem to fluctuate on a daily basis,at least around where I live.So here are the 4 tricks of keeping more of your hard earned cash in your wallet.
First fill up,if possible in the early morning.As the groung temperature is still cold.The reason being is that the gas is more dense than when it warms up.The cooler  and denser the petroleum is the more so a gallon of gas is to actually being  a true gallon.
A one degree rise is a huge deal.Less gas that is not in your tank but is registered as a gallon.
Another trick to getting more bang for your buck,is that when filling the tank not to squeeze the trigger of the nozzle on fast mode.Pump the gas on the low/slow mode only and always.Most triggers have  3 stages,high,middle and low.By doing so one mimizes the vapor and hence you get more true gas.If you use the high or fast mode much of what is going into your tank becomes vapor.We know that a vechile cannot run on vapor.The hoses at the pump have a vapro return.These vapors get sucked up and back into the underground storage tank,so you are in reality getting less for your money.
Fill up only when your tank is half full.The reason being is that you have more gas in your tank then less air is in the tank also taking up space.Gasoline does evaporate at a very quick rate,much faster than one can imagine.Tanks have an internal floating  roof.The roof serves as a buffer that limits and keeps evporation low.
The last thing to know is to never fill up when the gas truck is filling up the storage tanks.When gas is being deposited more than likely it is being stirred up as it hits the storage unit.The possiblity s there for you and your tank to recieve some of the dirt that may usually settle atthe bottom.
Please help spread this news to others and help them get the best return for their money as well.Lets all save money together.
Thank you.
