How bout a critique on this one it all seems a bit much to me.such as the under ground part....up here the temp below the frost line is pretty much constant and the gallon is measured at the pump not the tank,plus I know there are filters at each pump.The vapor issue is miniscule IMOP.The tanker at the station goes to the filter issue at the pump. Leme know

You forgot the easiest way to cut fuel costs by a whopping 50%, not 2 or 3%.....

TRADE THE V8 SUV in on a medium sized 2WD sedan. One gets 13mph, the other gets 26mph.

If you really want to save money on gas, the best advice is this: Drive less!

He forgot the one about raising the hose above the level of your gas tank opening so that you don't leave that gas for the next customer.

A little bit anal, don't you think?

how to save:

example:

cost $50 to fill tank.
fill tank only half full...thus saving $25.
use savings to fill other half.

;-)

How about cutting out the floorboard so that foot power can be use?

While the writer makes some points, they are at best trivial. I don’t think they have any real significance.

In a society to lazy to actually spend pennies or to pick them up off the ground, saving miligrams of gas is not meaningful.

Rather than moan about gas increase, buy a hedge. Invest some bucks in oil securities that increase in value or pay increased dividends reflecting price increases.

Forget snopes! This stuff is like jumping up just before the elevator crashes in the basement-sounds almost reasonable, almost. Better to apply your efforts to your driving habits, keep your vehicle in good order and buy gas at the cheapest place. And you could get a diesel.
