How to save on GAS

Even though the new Sexiest Woman of the Year came out today, I thought I would post something a little more tangible like these awesome tips forwarded to me by several relatives. As our gas climbs to almost the cost of a Starbucks Grande Cinnamon Dolce Latte, every little bit of gas savvy helps. TIPS ON PUMPING GAS I don't know what you guys are paying for gasoline.... but here in California we are also paying higher, up to $4.00 per gallon. But my line of work is in petroleum for about 31 years now, so here are some tricks to get more of your money's worth for every gallon. Here at the Kinder Morgan Pipeline where I work in San Jose , CA we deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period thru the pipeline. One day is diesel the next day is jet fuel, and gasoline, regular and premium grades. We have 34-storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remembe
