Buy your gas in the morning or evening
Gas becomes denser when the temperature is colder. Gas pumps measure the volume of the gas that you pump and do not measure the density. You are getting more gas per gallon when the gas is denser. A congressional committee has estimated that US consumers will pay 2.1 billion dollars more for gas this summer because of this density difference.
This means that if you fill up your gas tank in the cooler morning temperatures, or in the colder evening hours, that you'll be getting better gas price economy. Filling up your gas tank later in the evening may also help you to avoid the rush of day hours and you will not waste gas idling while waiting for a pump to open up.
2. Avoid driving when your gas tank is 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.
In fact [link widoczny dla zalogowanych], driving till empty can create a double whammy. Not only will you use more gas because your engine starts to run poorly, you can find yourself buying gas at a higher price. If you are at empty you will have to gas up at the first station you come across or risk running out of gas. That usually means paying a higher price than you should. The choice of where to gas up is taken away from you due to circumstance. You no longer have the option to find the station with the best prices.
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. Save gas with a flick of the wrist!
When you have finished filling up your gas tank try turning the nozzle of the hose a full 180 degrees. This will drain a bit more gas into your tank; in some cases up to an entire half cup that would otherwise be a bonus to the next gas customer.
Once you get into the habit of turning the hose you'll find yourself doing it without thinking. That extra half cup that you get each time that you fill your gas tank can add up to a lot of extra gas at the end of the year that you would have otherwise left for the next motorist.
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.
