We are and were set up as a nation of Christians and all other faiths that wanted freedom to worship �God� (NOT a Christian nation). Read on�
Please help do this... refuse to accept these when they are handed back to you. I received one from the Post Office as change and I ask for a dollar bill instead. The lady just smiled and said way to go, so had she read this e-mail? Please help out... our world is in enough trouble without this too!
U.S. Government to Release New Dollar Coins "IN GOD WE TRUST" IS GONE!!!
If ever there was a reason to boycott something, THIS IS IT!!!! DO NOT ACCEPT THE NEW DOLLAR COINS AS CHANGE. Together we can force them out of circulation.
Don't know how true this is, but it's interesting !! This is what someone sent me.
I've been in petroleum pipeline business for about 31 years, currently working for the Kinder-Morgan Pipeline here in San Jose, CA. We deliver about 4 million gallons in a 24-hour period from the pipeline; one day it's diesel, the next day it's jet fuel and gasoline. We have 34 storage tanks here with a total capacity of 16,800,000 gallons. Here are some tricks to help you get your money's worth:
1. Fill up your car or truck in the morning when the temperature is still cool. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground; and the colder the ground, the denser the gasoline. When it gets warmer gasoline expands, so if you're filling up in the afternoon or in the evening, what should be a gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and temperature of the fuel (gasoline, diesel, jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products) are significant. Every truckload that we load is temperature-compensated so that the indicated gallonage is actually the amount pumped. A one-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for businesses, but service stations don't have temperature compensation at their pumps.
2. If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank.
3. Fill up when your gas tank is half-full (or half-empty), because the more gas you have in your tank the less air there is and gasoline evaporates rapidly, especially when it's warm. (Gasoline storage tanks have an internal floating 'roof' membrane to act as a barrier between the gas and the atmosphere, thereby minimizing evaporation.)
4. If you look at the trigger you'll see that it has three delivery settings: slow, medium and high. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to the high setting. You should be pumping at the slow setting, thereby minimizing vapors created while you are pumping. Hoses at the pump are corrugated; the corrugations act as a return path for vapor recovery from gas that already has been metered. If you are pumping at the high setting, the agitated gasoline contains more vapor, which is being sucked back into the underground tank, so you're getting less gas for your money. Hope this will help ease your 'pain at the pump'
I looked it up on the internet and figured this out. I hope my calculations are correct. That makes sense, but what is the real difference when pumping 10-15 gallons when the fuel is expanded vs. a 9000-gallon tanker?
I looked it up on the internet and figured it out. The difference in a 9000-gallon tanker at 70 degrees vs. the same 9000 gallon tanker at 60 degrees is 34 gallons. That calculates to .0378 gallons per 10 gallons of gas.
If 10 gallons of gas costs $29, that calculates to $.87 savings per 10 gallons, or 8.7 cents per gallon. That could be considered a substantial savings. Instead of $2.90 per gallon, it would be approx. $2.82 per gallon.
