I don't know about the rest of the tips, but buying in the morning has been disproven numerous times. Just had a guy on CNN the other night, I think from AAA, saying because the tanks are underground there is little temperature difference whatever time of day you get gas and the difference is negligable. It's like being in an underground cave, or a house built underground, the temp stays constant all year, summer or winter. Wonder if the Mythbusters have ever taken that one on? By the way, Wayne Gerdes was also on the same broadcast giving his hyper-mileing tips.
