Refueling in the Evening
In hot weather, gasoline vapors escape when you refuel your car's gas tank and, combined with sunshine and heat, create ozone, an air pollutant that is harmful to our lungs. By refueling during cooler periods of the day and in the evening, you can reduce ozone pollution.
Also, when you gas up, please don't top off the tank. It keeps gas from spilling on you, it's safer, and it helps keep the air clean.
For more information, please see our summer messages and materials.
