Save Gas and Money: a Few Tricks

By:

1. Buy your gasoline in the evening or morning

Gasoline becomes denser in colder temperatures. Gas pumps are set to measure the volume of the fuel that you pump and not the density. If gas is denser then you are actually getting more gas in a gallon than you are getting when it is warmer and less dense.

In the morning's cooler air, or in the evening's cooler air, you'll be getting more fuel and better gas price economy. There can also be an added benefit. Filling your tank in the evening can help you avoid wasting fuel idling while waiting for a gas pump to open up during peak hours.

2. Avoid running too close to empty

Try not to drive your car until the gas gauge is on or close to empty. All the loose dirt that may have built up in your gas tank over time will be sucked into the engine. This is not good for the engine and will cause a marked drop in the MPG of your car.

You could get a double whammy in spending more for fuel.In addition to the loss of fuel economy if you are at empty you will have to fill your tank at the first station you come across and that usually will mean paying a higher price than you need to. The choice of where to gas up is taken away from you due to circumstance.

Keep your gas level above the quarter tank mark if at all possible. You should plan to purchase gas when your tank is somewhere between one half and one quarter full.

3. Turn the nozzle

Try turning the nozzle of the hose a full 180 degrees when you have finished filling up your gas tank . This will enable the gas in the nozzle to enter your tank. In some cases it could be as much as an entire half cup. This bonus, if left alone will provide the next customer with a bonus.

After a number of times making yourself turn the nozzle you'll find yourself doing it without thinking. An extra half cup can add up to a lot of gas at the end of the year.

If you buy gasoline once per week and you can get that extra half cup out of the nozzle each time, you would be 52 half cups per year ahead. That would be 1.625 gallons.

In other words just by turning the hose each time you will get 1.625 gallons of gas free. A two car family would realize over 3 gallons of "free" gas per year, all with just a small flick of the wrist.

These are just some of many different things you can do to optimize your fuel economy and gasoline purchases. Just thinking about gasoline economy and some of the things you can do to effect it will start to make saving gas a habit.
