Gas prices are zooming sky high with no ceiling in sight. Do you remember when a gallon of unleaded cost $1.25?

Here are ten gasoline buying tips to help you do that.

Prices vary among stations that sell the same brand. Find a station that sells your favorite brand cheaper. Prices between brands can vary. You can save money by switching brands.

Some give a 5 to 10 percent rebate on purchases.

Gasoline is denser during the morning when temperatures are colder. Gas pumps measure and charge by volume, not density. You’ll be getting more solid fuel rather than vapors for your money.

Busy gas stations refill their underground tanks often. Slower stations don’t. Therefore, their tanks may have stale contaminated gas. Older fuel is poorer on fuel economy and performance.

Twist the gas pump nozzle 180 degrees when done. This can add up to an extra four ounces to your tank.

High-octane gas costs more than regular. If you car isn’t pinging, use regular unleaded. You’ll save up to 20 cents per gallon.

The pump needs time to draw out the full amount. It doesn’t get it when you Top-off. You pay extra for these short- burst of fuel. Wait until your tank is at least half-full before you fill it up.

The refilling of underground tanks stirs up particles that lay at the bottom. If these particles get in to your gas tank, they can cut the fuel efficiency of your car.

Use the self-serve rather than the full-serve pump. Full- serve gasoline costs more. You save money pumping gas yourself.

Twist the cap until you hear it click. This prevents gasoline from evaporating and escaping.

These ten tips are easy to apply. Remember to use them each time at the gas pump. You’ll be stretching your gas dollars.
