Why?</span> Read and learn....<br /><br /><b>Gas up at night.</b> Putting gas into your vehicle releases Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) into the air. Throughout the day, these VOCs mix with oxides of nitrogen (NOx) in the air, "cook" in the summer heat, and form ground-level ozone. Refueling in the evening decreases the opportunity for VOCs to form into ozone. Evaporative emissions from morning gasoline fillups contribute to air pollution, particularly during the summertime. Wait 3 seconds after refueling before removing the nozzle and never top off the tank because any fuel that drips outside of your tank adds to ozone formation.<br /><br />Want to learn more neat stuff like that?

We are learning as employers and employees that getting to work is a big deal - and energy prices are changing the equation.<br /><br />RidesNearMe is here to help. For ultra low prices, we make carpooling easy, fun, accessible, and safe. Using our patent pending turbo search, its a no brainer for employees to connect and make carpools, saving thousands of dollars each year. <br /><br />Here at RidesNearMe, we are looking forward to sharing our ideas with you, getting your feedback, and talking carpooling here on our blog. Lets go!<br /><br />Aaron<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/815582615223382012-918452620824784471?l=ridesnearme.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Aaron Hellemanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13496731949458419559noreply@blogger.com0
