Take it easy at the gas tank!

A Green Tip, courtesy of the EPA…

During hot weather, don’t top off your gas tank.  Refuel your car or truck in the early morning or the evening when it’s cooler.  A small fuel spill may not seem like much, but every spill evaporates and adds to air pollution, and fuel pumps with vapor recovery systems can feed a spill back into their tanks – after you paid for it. So, in hot weather – don’t top off!
