Default Re: Gas Tips in e-mail, Hoax?

Besides the issue that the temperature underground does not change by a measurable amount, the idea of keeping your tank full to minimize evaporation is bogus. There may be other good reasons to keep your tank full (and one reason not to - weight) but modern cars all have sealed fuel systems and vapor recovery systems, so no gas is lost due to evaporation.

Overall, I would say this message has very little factual content.
