Pumping Gas – Can You Save Money By Pumping Slowly?

Holding Gas Pump

One interesting article I saw on Not Just the Kitchen was about how you can pump gas and save money. Apparently, people are pumping gas, as I do, by putting the nozzle up to max, and standing back and letting the tank fill. I always figured it didn’t matter, and it beats standing there holding the gas nozzle in your hand.

But Rick Goodman says there’s a better way to pump your gas. Read his post on how to pump gas and save money and let me know what you think.

This sounds like an “urban legend,” so I went to Car Talk to see if they had anything to say about it. They didn’t. Anybody know if this is for real?
