underground tanks filled on a regular basis. Gas stations that are slow will have gas that has been sitting in underground tanks for longer periods of time, leading to gas contamination. This contamination can mean that the gas you are purchasing is less powerful than fresh gas and will decrease your fuel economy.

* High octane gas

Choose the right octane gas for your car. Unless your vehicle requires it, buying higheroctane gas is a waste of your money. The higher the octane, the higher the price.

* Avoid topping off

Try to avoid over filling or “topping off” at the gas pumps. When filling your fuel tank, the gas nozzle automatically clicks off when your fuel tank is full. Ibo much gas will just slosh or seep out. In warmer weather, the gas will expand and may leak out

* Always fill up your tank

When you purchase just a bit of gas at the gas station the pump doesn’t have enough time to really activate, resulting in short bursts of ftiel that may short change you from the amount of gas that you are purchasing.

The best time to replenish your fuel tank is when you have half a tank or less left in your vehicle, or when you find a gas price that you just can’t afford to miss.

* Avoid buying gas from a just replenished station

When a gas station has its underground tanks filled, the particles at the bottom of the tank are stirred up. These particles can become mixed in with the gas that you are putting into your car, which can lead to efficiency problems. The particles can clog your fuel filter, causing your car to stall and start with some difficulty.

* Tighten the gas cap

It may seem like a small thing to do, but tightening the gas cap on your car will prevent gas from evaporating and escaping into the air. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps
