Because multiple videos have begun to surface on social media of individuals bringing empty milk jugs to gas stations to fill them up to see how much you're actually getting for a gallon. Have a look at this video for yourself. Check this out right here. There's an empty milk jug container, which is a gallon. He's filling it up with fuel. Let's see how much he actually gets. He's filling it up with fuel. Let's see how much he actually gets. Look at that. Not even a half and that says you got a gallon. Now one thing to keep in mind, please do not do this on your own because it is dangerous. And that is not a gasoline safe container to be putting gasoline in the first place. He's doing this as an experiment to tell you exactly what you're getting for your gallon's worth. And as you can see from this picture right here, exactly how much he got inside of a gallon jug. Little food for thought. Let me know your thoughts on this in the comments and as always, I'd love to hear from you.
