either because the gas tanks are stored underground so the temperature pretty much stays the same all day. what about going to the no-name gas stations, do they have low quality gas? here's what the experts say. >> no-name gas stations are getting the fuel from the same places as the big name companies. it's all gasoline and your car is happy to burn it. >> premium, not necessarily better unless your manufacturer calls for it. here is one that a lot of people don't know. opening the windows not such a drag on your fuel economy, consumer reports did a test with the windows down at 55 miles an hour, with the windows up, with the ac on, both of them will drop your economy by about 3 miles per gallon. but what will help is keeping the tires inflated. obviously it's safer, but it also makes your car more efficient an your wallet may be happy about that. >> tracie potts, great tips. >> watch the junk in the trunk,

right. >> i always watch. >> heavier load. thanks very much. >> now to the olympic games. taking the road to london. yes, the dream of a lifetime only beginning for the country's top gymnasts. >> exciting after several days of competition five men, five women have been selected to represent the u.s. marla tellez is live at san jose with the latest on who made the u.s. gymnastics team. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. before i get to the rundown of those ten i want to give you a look outside hp pavilion. a block party last night. this place was packed. on the stage there was kenny loggens, he entertained. the ladies took to the floor at 5:30 in front of a sold-out crowd. they fliped and turned and balanced and landed it. in the end five of 14 names were called. here is your female roster for team u.s.a.
