the cost of gas is rising - almost Daily.
for the real econofreaks, that 5-10 cent rise in price of gas could mean a big difference..
Fill up a 12 gallon tank for 4.30 per G, Once...(approx $51 after one filling)
or fill a 7 gallon tank one day for 4.30 a G, and the next time you fill up - 4.40 a G...(Approx $61 after both fillings)
yeah - ur gonna end up paying more... Sure it's only $10, but some people really have to watch their pennies.
While some may see this as an exaggeration, truth is - it's fact these days.
Gas prices Aren't getting any lower.

If that's the case, then why not just buy a storage tank and filler up at todays price? Lugging that extra weight around in your car is only going to cost you more anyway......so, you'll probably break even, right? And, when that storage tank empties, you'll go back to the pumps where it's going to be even more expensive than when you needed to fill your 12 gallon tank. Either way, you are going to be paying more money for gas.
Solution? Move closer to work or work closer to home. Don't let the gasoline engine kick in and only use electric staying under 40 miles per trip. That should do it!

but remember gasoline weighs like 6-8lbs per gallon, so that is also extra weight they are cutting out to help further the gas mileage

Yeah...I think it was 8 lbs per gallon. So, 5 gallons x 8lbs per gallon is 40lbs less that you have to constantly lug around. When you are talking electric, 40lbs makes a difference.
