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. 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 on the
fast rate, some other liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor Those
vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so
you're getting less worth for your money.


I dunno if I buy this one... there would be massive lines at the pumps if everyone used the slowest pump speed. A few mins of my time is worth more than saving a few cents IMO. I'll just accelerate slower a few times and make up for the difference that pumping slower would make.


Citgo gas is from South America, from a Dictator who hates Americans.

So how is that different from any other place we get oil from :lol:
