COST EFFICIENT FILLING UP FOR GAS 2: Keep the trigger on low
Average gasoline prices in the US ($ 4.079 as of 23 June) dipped a bit from the previous week (about $0.003), but still more than a dollar increase from a year ago. The expectation is gasoline prices will continue to rise.
The trigger on the hose for filling up has three settings: low, middle, and high (for pump speed). While you are pumping, the fuel releases vapors. A gas pump hose has a vapor return device which sucks up the vapor back into the underground storage. At a low trigger setting, less vapor is released. At a high speed, some of the gas going into your tank becomes vapor which is being sucked up, back into storage –so, you’re getting less for your money.
