Saving fuel in our trucks is easy.......just turn off the ignition. Then walk to work....grin.
I think most of this is BS. I would be curious what the temperature change of the gasoline is between morning and afternoon. A couple degrees maybe since the gas is underground where the temp is very constant. The email is right that a liquid expands and contracts with a temp change. But not a signifigant change. Service stations would correct for the temp change if this was a big deal.
I do fill up at half a tank especially in colder seasons. But not for the reasons this email says. I do it because I think having a fuller tank helps minimize water condensation from the air in the tank into the gas. That could be BS too but who knows.....
