We have spell check?

As to your fuel volume question, you could calculate the difference using this information, your tank volume, and the temperatures you experience:

Quote:
Gasoline volume changes approximately 0.125% for every 1ºC change in temperature (0.058%/ºF) .

Note that your specific results will be affected by whether or not your fuel is sold by volume (e.g. as in most of the USA) or by volume-corrected constant energy density (as in Canada).
