This is a chain email sent to me today. It has some good suggestions. I really doubt that there is much savings in only filling up in the mornings because the temperature of the ground where the gas is stored is stable because of its depth. There might be more fumes in the afternoon at the point of delivery to the gas tank of your car, and it might be true that pumping fast makes more fumes. What I like about this email is the list of which oil companies import oil from the Middle East. There is no source given for this information...but it is attributed to the Department of Energy.

Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less for your money. That's a bank-breaker.

The list of importing oil companies has some strange entries. It lists Amoco as one that imports from the Middle East, and BP/Phillips as not importing. BP is not affiliated with Phillips, but it bought Amoco in about 1996. This casts doubt on the validity of the list.

Sadly, we don’t have any of the companies here that don’t import from SA. However, I don’t buy from the two companies run by ex-criminal middle easterners.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. Most of the suggestions are good, but not this unless you are filling up for some reason (long trip, gas more expensive where you are going, etc.).
Since I use the cents off deals that grocery stores give for gasoline purchases, I want as much gas a possible at the cheaper price. I also take my 3 gas cans to fill as well, particularly when I've worked my way up past 50 cents a gallon off.

*Warm*? What’s *warm*?
I also like giving my business to companies who don’t import their oil from the Saudis. However, I also don’t want to give the business to Chavez either.
I can do Hess and Sunoco. Hess usually has pretty good prices anyway.
