PROTIP: Use Shift+F1 to put workers on gas

Another tip:

To transfer 3 workers from mining minerals to gas quickly, simply select 3 workers, right click on the gas, and press [c] (or [d] if you use the grid layout).

This will cause any workers currently holding minerals to drop those minerals off before going to collect gas.

Better trick:

Send all idle to gas, shift click 3 of them out. Send all of the remaining to minerals.

If you need to get 2 gas up:

Send all to gas, shift 3 out.

Send all to the other gas, shift 3 out.

Send all to minerals.

if you have 10 workers mining and you select 3 and shift make a refinery, it will only use 1 to make and send the other 2 on gas only after the gas is done

Another tip with regards to gas - if you have three workers at the geyser when it finishes, you're losing a bunch of time where the workers are sitting idle. A better way is to grab workers returning with minerals one at a time, timing it so that the next worker reaches the geyser right as the previous one exits it. This method can save you 10-15 minerals, which isn't insignificant when you see people debating 9 overlord vs 10 ovie extractor trick to eek out another 4.5 minerals in the early game

Why would I ever want all workers on gas?
