When the gas pump nozzle clicks off
automaticallly, do you add a little more gas to round off the your dollar sale?
Topping off your gas
tank is bad for the environment and your wallet!
Here's
why:
The gas nozzle automatically clicks off when your gas tank is full. topping off the gas tank can result in your paying
for gasoline that is fed back into the station's tanks, because your gas tank is full.
Topping off your gas tank increases the
likelihoodo of spills, which is wasteful.
Gasoling vapors contain toxic chemicals, including benzene - a know carcinogen, which are harmful to
breathe.
If you top off your tank, the extra gas
may evaporate into your vehicle's vapor collention system causing your car to run poorly.
