Hot gas costs California drivers / Fuel expands in heat, but special pumps could compensate for temperature swings
if at all possible save filling up or putting gas in until night...

skimp!
i don't think it makes that big of a deal... but since i live in GA... i'll consider it. my tank's below 1/4 so i guess i'll fill it up on the way home tomorrow night at like 10pm :)
what does it matter about the pumps? if it goes in my tank wont it just be whatever temperature that is? isnt the real issue here that cars just get better gas mileage at night when the fuel is more dense? or am i too blazed and missing something?
It takes no more than 5.7 gallons of gas to fill the tank on my big bike {The CBX} and 5.3 gallons on the others. With such a minimal amount of gasoline being purchased by me at any time, it does not really matter.
Personally, I think it is another scam by the gas companies to extract more money from our wallets in some subdued way.
