...Gas Saving Tips
Money Saving Tips on pumping gas.
At this writing gas in California is up to $4.00 per gallon and soon to reach $4.50 per gallon. So here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon when you go to the pump.
TIP #1: Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. Service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.
TIP #2: When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages; low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.
TIP #3: One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating roof. This roof serves as zero clearance between the gas and the atmosphere, so it minimizes the evaporation.
TIP #4: Another reminder, if there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up. Most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.
TIP #5: DO SHARE THESE TIPS WITH OTHERS
TIP #6: WHERE TO BUY USA GAS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO KNOW. Gas rationing in the 80's worked even though we grumbled about it. It might even be good for us! Every time you fill up the car, you can avoid putting more money into the coffers of Saudi Arabia. Just buy from gas companies that don't import their oil from the Saudis. Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. You need to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from and which major companies import Middle Eastern oil.
Citgo gas is from South America and from a Dictator who hates Americans. If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION! (oil is now $100+ a barrel)
TIP #8: Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Sunoco -0- zero barrels
Conoco -0- zero barrels
Sinclair -0- zero barrels
BP/Phillips -0- zero barrels
Hess -0- zero barrels
ARCO -0- zero barrels
BUY FROM THESE COMPANIES!
If you go to http://Sunoco.com you will get a list of the station locations near you.
TIP #9: All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and each company is required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. Write to you congressman or congresswomen everyday and encourage others to do the same. It will help.
