no it doesn't the little bit of gas that would sit in your filler neck you would burn up driving home from the gas station. unless you live like 20 feet away.

actually i think what he means is that the gas is measure by volume not weight, and thusly during the day the heat increases the volume of the gasoline, which means ur not getting all ur mileage. probably negligable, but yea.

The opposite effect happens in the cold. As far as I am aware the gas pumps are regulated based on the effect temperature takes on volume.
I'm not sure that it would be enough to justify building your schedule around...
....I have also heard that the price of gas decreases in after hours. I have only been lucky enough to witness this once.

In Canada the pumps are regulated for the cold temps, they have been that way for years, so you pay for the amount of gas you get. In the states the pumps aren't regulated for the cold or the heat.

I just got this from gasbuddy
Quote:
Market prices for gasoline have been up and down quite a lot in very short spans of time. Yesterday, gas dropped almost a dime by lunch, but was up over 6¢/gal by the close. The distributors must be going crazy. For example, the US Gulf Coast spot price over the past week has ranged from $3.23/gal to $3.58/gal! Imagine if you had to choose when to send the tanker trucks to the tank farm or pipeline to fill up when your profit margin may be only 10¢/gal.
So, at the pump, the target site average pump price for regular gasoline is $4.09-14. Look for more stations to move over the $4 mark through the weekend. $3.80s are going to be tougher to find. Because of the wild swings in the spot price, you may see some odd pricing behavior with more stations priced much higher than others in close proximity. Not sure how long that will last.

Probably negligable since the temperature in the undergound holding tank probably doesn't change much during the day, if at all.
