Save $ at the gas station

You can save money by getting gasoline during cooler times of the day - morning or evening. When your car is cool and the gas pump is cool, less of the gas becomes fumes and you get more liquid gasoline for the price.

MORE INFORMATION:
Some places, like Hawaii, have pumps that compensate for the effect of temperature on gasoline - but most places don't. And obviously this doesn't make much difference in cold weather.
