From ASHRAE Psychrometric Chart #1: At 100 deg F and 80 deg F dew point, the air density is 14.7 cubic feet per pound. I've seen hotter, but not by much.

From ASHRAE Psychrometric Chart #2: At -30 deg F, the air density is 10.8 cubic feet per pound regardless of humidity. That's about the coldest we normally see, but there was the day that I drove to work at -46 deg F.

14.7 / 10.8 = 36% difference.
