Don't Top Off Your Gas Tank!

 

Help protect the environment!

Save money! 

  • Do you top off your gas tank and overfill it? 
  • 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.
