LMFAO!

I received the same e-mail a few times last week also. You may encrue a few cents in savings doing this, which will pale in comparision to the time you waste getting gas every time you reach a half of a tank. Same holds true for the little gem (in the same e-mail) that said to SLOWLY fuel up your tank to cut down on vapor Again, maybe some MINOR savings, but just more time wasted at the pump trying to fuel up slowly. Sad but true that some people fall for anything they read on the internet.
