> > A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the
> > service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

> > When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a
> > fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three
> > (3)stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on
> > low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are
> > pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping

> > vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground
> > storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

> > One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF

> > your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates
> > faster than you can imagine. Gasoline storage tanks have an internal
