Do you think a company like Geico would post things they heard from email forwards that are always on snopes ? Somewhere they got this info and they were willing to put their name on the line for it. I'm sure it's at least in part true.

Geico is an insurance company. They know very little, if anything, about how cars actually work and even less about gas stations. They are simply repeating a widely-held belief that the majority of the country holds to be true without ever looking at it logically. Just because a low-end cut-rate insurance company says something, doesn't make it true.

Umm yeah, Geico is just an insurance company that know nothing about cars... umm yeah :roll:

Let me know the next time you take a car to Geico for a tune-up.

Insuring cars has absolutely nothing to do with how a car works mechanically. I'd be willing to bet money that your average Geico employee (any level) is completely unable to describe how a modern electronically-controlled fuel injection system works.

Just because they insure cars does not mean they have anything resembling competance in the engineering of those cars.

The "fill up in the morning and you'll get more gasoline" story is a myth that has been around forever because the majority of people are too damn lazy to actually think though its patent absurdities.
