COST EFFICIENT FILLING UP FOR GAS 4: Don’t fill up during fuel delivery

by ren on July 5th, 2008

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.

While the fuel truck is pumping fuel into the gas station’s storage tank, sediment that normally builds up in the storage tank is stirred up. If you fill up while the fuel truck is pumping into the gas station’s storage tank, you might be picking up some of the sediment and transferring it into your car’s gas tank.
