Save gas and be eco-friendly by parking in the shade

This video tutorial gives tips on how to save gas and be eco-friendly. When it's hot outside, everyone wants to find a nice shady spot to put their car... and there are good environmental reasons for that. Gas evaporates even when it's sealed in an enclosed tank, so parking your car in the shade will reduce the heat on the tank that causes evaporation, which you will appreciate when some of the expensive gas you've already purchased hasn't been lost due to evaporation. Your car will also be cooler when you get back into it, reducing your need to blast your A/C, which can also burn through your gas a bit quicker. If you work or go to school in a place with a giant parking lot where shade is impossible to find, invest in a sun shade to keep your cabin cooler during the hot summer days.
