Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the fuel, when it gets warmer petrol expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your litre is not exactly a litre. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the petrol, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps.

Well this one is garbage. Given that the tanks are buried at least 6 feet below ground you are not going to see a huge difference in ground temperature at that depth even between winter and summer let alone morning and evening! Te other advice seems ok though....:lol:
