Interesting Facts!


How to Pump Gas!
Sounds like a really "duh" statement - but there are tricks to getting the very best deal!

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening.....your gallon is not exactly a gallon.

When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high.. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If you are pumping on the fast rate, some of the liquid that goes to your tank becomes vapor. Those vapors are being sucked up and back into the underground storage tank so you're getting less worth for your money.

One of the most important tips is to fill up when your gas tank is HALF FULL or HALF EMPTY. The reason for this is, the more gas you have in your tank the less air occupying its empty space. Gasoline evaporates faster than you can imagine.

If there is a gasoline truck pumping into the storage tanks when you stop to buy gas, DO NOT fill up--most likely the gasoline is being stirred up as the gas is being delivered, and you might pick up some of the dirt that normally settles on the bottom.

Some Evergreen tips....


Gather up the evergreen trimmings

If you use a live evergreen tree during the holidays, look for a fuller tree or one with low-hanging branches that could use a little trimming. Retailers who sell live evergreens usually have an ample supply of stray branches lying around as well. They can often be purchased for a small price or may even be free for the taking.


Natural packaging

Try a different tack on Christmas wrapping paper! Instead of commercial paper, use plain brown paper, and use twine instead of ribbon. Tie sprigs of fresh evergreen to the twine, and your present will not only look good, it will smell great!


Frozen decorations!

Take two sizes of glass dishes with a little depth - place one inside the other. Carefully fill the space in between with tonic water, and immerse bits of evergreen and cranberries into the liquid. Move to the freezer for 3-4 hours, and then place a dish of dip, or other cold condiment in the center - it will be the talk of your festive table!
