Heather,
It more effiecient to fill your tank in 1 session rather than stopping daily. Starting and stoping uses more gas. If you are adding an extras stop for gas every day you are burning more gas.
When you stop for gas, you have to slow down and turn into the gas station, then you have to slowly cruise into the station and find a pump. Sometimes you have to wait for a pump which really burns gas. You have to turn your car off. When you are ready to leave you have to turn it back on again and slowly move away from them pump. Then you have to stop to wait until you can get back into traffic.
The more your car is moving slowly the more gas you are burning. The more your car is stopped and idlling the more gas you are using.
With all the extra starting and stopping and idling and turning the car on again you will use more gas if you fill up frequently rather than fill up once.

My husband and I loved the HESS card until they canceled it! They said we were spend too much per month on fuel at the Hess stations! We both drive a LOT and always pay our bills in full on time. We let it go until it happened to our in-laws who used it a lot this year driving back and forth to Florida! If Hess thinks you spend too much on gas they will pull your card ! L. Brenchley PA
