wondered if you're spending too much on
0:07
fuel with gas prices fluctuating so much
0:10
it's a common concern for many drivers
0:13
well today I'm here to debunk five
0:16
common fuel myths that are draining your
0:17
wallet these misconceptions can lead to
0:20
unnecessary expenses and it's time to
0:22
set the record straight so buckle up and
0:24
let's get started it's time to save some
0:26
money and get the most out of every drop
0:28
of fuel
0:30
myth number one premium gas is always
0:33
better for your car this is a belief
0:35
held by many drivers who think that
0:37
higher octane means better performance
0:39
many people believe that using premium
0:41
fuel will improve their car's
0:43
performance and fuel efficiency they
0:45
think it will make their engine run
0:46
smoother and last longer but the truth
0:49
is unless your car's manual specifically
0:51
requires premium fuel using regular gas
0:53
is just fine your car is designed to run
0:56
efficiently on the recommended fuel type
0:58
in fact using premium when it's not
1:00
needed can just be a waste of money
1:02
you're essentially throwing cash away
1:04
without any real benefit so check your
1:05
owner's manual and stick to the
1:07
recommended fuel grade it's the best way
1:09
to ensure Optimal Performance and
1:12
efficiency myth number two fuel
1:14
additives are worth the extra cost these
1:16
products often promise to clean your
1:18
engine or boost your fuel economy you
1:20
might have seen those fuel additives at
1:22
the gas station claiming to clean your
1:24
engine or improve fuel economy they can
1:26
be tempting especially with all the
1:28
marketing hype while some additives can
1:30
be beneficial most modern cars are
1:32
designed to run efficiently without them
1:34
the technology in today's engines is
1:36
Advanced enough to handle regular fuel
1:38
without extra help regular maintenance
1:40
and using quality fuel are usually
1:42
enough to keep your engine in good shape
1:45
stick to your car's maintenance schedule
1:46
and use reputable fuel Brands so think
1:49
twice before spending extra on those
1:51
additives they might not provide the
1:53
benefits you're hoping for and could
1:55
just be an unnecessary expense myth
1:57
number three filling up in the morning
1:59
gives you more fuel this myth is based
2:01
on the idea that cooler temperatures
2:03
make fuel denser the idea here is that
2:06
fuel is denser in cooler temperatures so
2:08
you'll get more for your money if you
2:10
fill up in the morning it sounds logical
2:12
but let's dig deeper while it's true
2:15
that temperature affects fuel density
2:17
the difference is so minimal that it
2:18
won't make a noticeable impact on your
2:20
fuel tank the storage tanks at gas
2:22
stations are usually underground where
2:25
temperatures remain fairly constant so
2:27
don't stress about the time of day when
2:29
you fill up
2:30
whether it's morning noon or night the
2:32
amount of fuel you get will be pretty
2:34
much the same myth number four
2:37
overfilling your tank can save you money
2:39
some drivers think that squeezing in a
2:41
little extra fuel after the pump clicks
2:43
off will give them more bang for their
2:45
Buck but overfilling can actually damage
2:48
your car's vapor recovery system leading
2:50
to costly repairs down the line this
2:53
system is designed to capture fuel
2:55
Vapors and prevent them from escaping
2:56
into the atmosphere but overfilling can
2:59
actually damage Dage your car's vapor
3:00
recovery system leading to costly
3:02
repairs down the line this system is
3:05
designed to capture fuel Vapors and
3:06
prevent them from escaping into the
3:08
atmosphere when the pump clicks off it's
3:10
best to stop filling to avoid any
3:12
unnecessary damage trust the pump's
3:14
automatic shut off feature it's there
3:16
for a reason finally myth number five
3:19
using the air conditioning always wastes
3:21
fuel many drivers believe that running
3:23
the AC is a Surefire way to decrease
3:25
fuel efficiency while it's true that
3:27
running the AC uses extra energy driving
3:30
with the windows down at high speeds can
3:32
create aerodynamic drag which also
3:34
reduces fuel efficiency this drag can
3:37
actually cause your car to use more fuel
3:39
than if you were using the AC the key is
3:41
to find a balance use the AC when
3:43
driving at higher speeds and opt for
3:45
open Windows when driving around town or
3:47
at lower speeds at lower speeds open
