Debunking 13 “Gas Station Secrets” — What’s True and What’s Total Nonsense

Not every “gas station secret” online is actually a secret — and some aren’t even true.
In this video, I review and critique a viral list of “13 gas station secrets” and break down which claims are accurate, which are misleading, and which have nothing to do with gas stations at all.

Some of the tips can genuinely help you save fuel. Others are based on misunderstandings, outdated information, or car myths that keep circulating online. A few claims — like using thinner engine oil for better MPG — can even damage your engine long term.

This video is a full fact-check where I explain:
⛽ Which “gas station secrets” are actually useful
❌ Which claims are myths or misconceptions
⚠️ How some tips can harm your vehicle or reduce engine life
🧪 Real science behind fuel economy and engine lubrication
🚗 Maintenance habits that genuinely improve MPG
🛑 Why some so-called “secrets” aren’t linked to gas stations at all

If you want real, tested fuel-saving tips — without the misinformation — this breakdown will show you exactly what works and what doesn’t.
