4. Fill Up When It is Cold Outside
• Like most substances, fuel contracts when it
gets cold outside. This means if you fill up in
the morning or at night when it is cold you will
get more bang for your buck. You buy 10
gallons in the morning and that may expand
to 11 or 12 gallons in the hot afternoon

5. Fill It All The Way Up
• You may not want to fill your tank up all the
way because looking at the fuel pump price
tick past $50, then $60, and $70 and so on
makes you feel like you are paying too
much, but it is the right move. If you are
constantly throwing in $10 here and $8
there, the cost of going out of your way to pull
into a gas station actually makes the process
less efficient and more expensive. Bite the
bullet and fill up all the way the first time.

6. Don’t Wait Til the Tank is Empty to Fill Up
• Filling up all the way is good, waiting till you are
on empty is bad. If you wait til you are on fumes
this will strain your fuel pump. It will start to suck
up all the debris and water at the bottom of your
tank. This can clog the filter and lead to you
having to replace the fuel pump assembly.
Instead of filling up on-time for $75 a pop, you
now have to replace a part that can run anywhere
from $100 to $500. The ideal level to fill up is at a
quarter tank. This allows you to take advantage of
better gas mileage since the car is lighter at a
quarter tank, but also will not strain your pump.

7. Always Buy Gas Once A Month
• Gas is actually seasonal and is changed from
month to month. You do not want to be
running the summer mix in the dead of
winter, and vice-versa. Summer gas has lower
vapor pressure and your car may fail to start in
January. Although, if you still have July gas in
your car in January you probably don’t use too
much gas and are not worried about gas
prices all that much.

8. Fill Up Before the End of The World!
• This one is a little conspiracy theory based.
Some people say that when a natural disaster
or big storm is approaching prices will raise
because there will be a run on gas. So, if you
see a storm coming or can predict an
earthquake fill up your tank and maybe fill up
some extra tanks too. Even if the price doesn’t
actually jump it will still be nice to avoid 5
hour lines for gas after disaster strikes.
