Considering the ridiculously spiraling gas prices, I thought I would pass on this bit of information to y'all. I was recently told as the gas gets hotter, there is more exhaust and less gas, therefore if you fill your car up when it is cooler, you will get more gas and less hot air.

Fill up before 7:30 AM, as the managers get the new prices around 8AM and change them ASAP.

Also, don't fill up if you see the truck filling up the underground tank.
It brings air in to the tank.

Another reason behind you not filling while the tanker is filling the bulk tanks is that they are full of rust and dirt..when they are pumping the fuel into the tanks through 4 inch hoses it stirs all of it up and you wind up with that in your tank...
