This can be proven experimentally at the pump and scientifically by observing the thermal expansion of gasoline. I'm sure the change in volume would be pretty small being that the temperature change between day and night would be small and the coefficient of thermal expansion of gasoline is pretty low. So in a gas tank I don't think there would be that big of a change, but you would def save money if you did this year round if you wanted to wake up early every day you pump gas. I'll check it out sometime when I finish my chemistry homework early.

Tomatoe, tomato, I was never actually serious about it being a truly scientific test lol.
More bustin on pizza for saying no one on here would ever try it

If you have the pump on full blast it will kick off sooner, because splashing or foaming fuel will trip the automatic shutoff sensor. But will it affect the accuracy of the meter? That technique would allow you to fill the tank higher, but I don't see how you would get more fuel per dollar.

have the pump read 5 gallons. then fill up another can both started with ZERO fuel. and the one you filled up on low has more fuel. the only time i ever cared(it was really maybe 1/8 1/4 inch in diffence in over all height up the "fill gauge". but i made sure i had EXACT 5 gallons wen i mixed my dirt bike 2 stroke gas. i just never realized why it was different. now i know. so go ahead say it makes no difference ive done it.

I never really put that much thought into how to pump gas. I will give a few tips a try. Paying for 93 in all but 2 vehicles... it can't hurt to try, right

i saw this on facebook awhile ago. ima lways to cheap to fill to the top and fill everytime at half a tank so i ignore that one, im too lazy to fill up early in the am im always still sleeping. only one i can use is the "slow pour" which i actually have been doing. dosent really take too much longer and hey if it helps it helps!
