| 6 Gas-Saving Myths |
| 2008-05-22 09:07:00 |
Sure you want to save gas, but there's a lot of bad advice on how to do it. Some of it makes no difference, and some of it can wind up costing you.With gasoline prices hitting record levels, it seems everyone has a tip on how to save fuel. Much of the advice is well-intentioned, but in the end, much of it won't lower your gas bill.Here's a look at a few misconceptions:1.

The theory goes that fluids are more dense at lower temperatures, so a gallon of cold gas actually has more gas molecules than a gallon of warmer gas.But the temperature of the gasoline as it comes out of the nozzle varies little during the course of the day, according to Consumer Reports, so th...

MOSCOW – Three astronauts were lucky to survive a dangerous re-entry into the Earth's atmosphere last March 23, a Russian news agency reported, citing a source close to an investigation into the incident."The fact that the crew members remained unharmed, in one piece, was very lucky.
