Tap Out on Topping Off

As gas prices rise, we’re probably all guilty of topping off to get that extra dollar. It may seem like we’re saving, but we’re hurting our wallets and the environment. When you top off, you’re paying for the gasoline that is fed back into the station’s tanks because yours is full. Topping off also increases your chance of spilling gas, which releases harmful vapors into the air. These gasoline vapors are had to breathe and a source of toxic air pollutants. It may be hard to break the habit, but consider prepaying inside. And then grab your favorite slurpee.
