pulled from another forum discussing fuel temp.


Actual investigative report about temps in underground tanks. Not supposition. Not speculation. And the pumps don't adjust for ambient, they charge you based on an assumed temp.
Go here, under "Featured Videos", "Hot Fuel":

more support for Temp does matter - although at the end - they state that when ever you fill up - you are probably loosing.
