Thats the main reason I dont do that, I would worry about losing gas due to expansion. Not only summer, but I would think that the expansion from -20F to 20F would be the same as 50F to 90F.
To try to minimize the difference between pump shutoffs, I count seconds to myself and pump at about .1 gallon per second. And I go to the 2nd clickoff. The only time I get a bad fill is when the pump is broken and the shutoff doesnt work and it overfills. Also, before even getting out of the car, I make an educated guess of what itll take to fill the tank to start with, so if it kicks off way too soon or not at all, I know somethings up. Also if the car is on a slope, itll affect the fill a bit depending on where your fill tube enters the tank.
