I read this in an article about saving up to 15 % on gas cost by doing this. The last three have to do with the gaseous (fumes) content in the flowing gallon. I don't know if any of this is true. What do you think?
I lost the website for gas pricing so if anyone has seen this let me know.

And as for using gasbuddy.com, I checked my zip code. There's a 10 cent per gallon range. 14 gallons, once a week times 10 cents is about $70/year and that's assuming that I always choose the most expensive gas station. Odds are it'd be closer to 5 cents a gallon - $40/year. My credit card gives me 2% back on all gas purchases - about 8 cents a gallon - $50/year, probably a greater savings in the long run.
