pumping gas tips

[SpecM]

that is bullshit

fuel tanks are sealed with EVAP systems, no loss to fuel vapors

in-ground fuel tanks temps do not flutuate that much

other than what escapes out the hole when filling you are total right

and yup ground at 3-5 feet stays the yearly average temp for your location

$9,35 for 1 gallon 95 octane

mmmm 95 octane! Lucky! I guess we are lucky over here price wise. Sells us your oil cheap or we will invade!

Yep, very true on both counts.

Also, the reason the roofs on gasoline storage tanks are 'floating' is to prevent any buildup of oxygen/air in the tank that could spark a fire. It has nothing to do with evaporation.

93 octane is about 4.91 in my area yesterday, I am sure it went up 5 cents over the night though. The most it went up one night was 15 cents. Fucking idiots.

I do believe what our man Endre was saying here was

"QUIT YOUR BITCHING YOU FUCKING LAZY, RICH AMERICANS!"


or something like that

Lol :rofl: Something like that, yes.
They are talking about doubling the prices, 'cause of the pollution in the wintermonths.

I want to fill 98 octane, but it's even more expensive. My Mini always get 98, though.

Who pumps the oil out of the North Sea? We do. Who's got the most expensive gas? We do. Makes no sense.

[F34R]

Who bails out other Nations? we do/ do we ever get paid back nope.

The use a different rating sysytem there, so it's not like 95 octane would be here.

We use RON+MON/2= octane rating

we don't have ANY refinerees in america anymore, why? as cartman would say, "the tree hugging hippies made us get rid of them"

so we ship our oil else where, then it gets refined, then shipped back!
that is dumb!

[TheEtaUnderdog]

I wanna see how many people were trolled into standing at the pump 3x as long at "low mode" lol

[poopin04]

I paid $4.09 for 91 Sunday.

[E30_(1st Musk)_]

wow. i've been making mistakes.

i always fillup in the middle of the day.
i always put it in fast mode.
i always wait for my tank to be empty to fill up.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode[/U] If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. You should be pumping on low mode, 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 of the 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.

You might have a lower evaporation rate per minute but you're spending more time with your fuel cap open while pumping so lower rate x longer time and you end up with the same thing. Except you just wasted another 5 minutes at the pump.

As Cartman would say, "dumbass!"
