David, DR. ROADMAP, Rizzo burst upon the traffic scene in late 1987 as the first person in Los Angeles to offer alternate routes to motorists who were sick and tired of being stuck in traffic. In 1990 he released to the world the most comprehensive guide ever written of off-freeway commuting in Southern California. Two years later he became the first traffic reporter to offer daily alternate routes in real time over the air on one of the most popular morning radio shows in Los Angeles. Dr. Roadmap continues to provide COMMUTE MANAGEMENT solutions with the 2006 release of his book, "Survive the Drive! How to Beat Freeway Traffic in Southern California."

Host:Should I fill my tank all the way or a little at a time?

David Rizzo: Fill you tank all the way. In other words you don't need to stop and go, and stop and go because each time you do that you are creating turbulence which creates more fumes. Again, you are paying for liquid gas, you don't want those fumes going out and wasting it. So take you time, start it and walk away from the pump and one good reason not to sit there and play with the pump is those fumes are highly carcinogenic. The benzine and gasoline has been attributed to acute Myelogenous Leukemia. So just put the latch on low, walk away, take a break and then come back when it's completely full. You can remove the nozzle. You have got plenty of gas and no problems.
