“As the temperature rises, liquid gasoline expands and the amount of energy in each gallon drops. Since gas is priced at a 60-degree standard and gas pumps don't adjust for any temperature changes, motorists often get less bang for their buck in warmer weather. Consumer watchdog groups warn that the temperature increase could cost consumers between 3 and 9 cents a gallon at the pump.”

But wait - there can’t really be anything to this. Besides, even if there was, it’s too expensive to replace all the pumps. Gas stations would never do it. ..

“In frigid Canada, where cold temperatures were giving consumers an edge, many gas stations voluntarily backed a program to add pumps that automatically adjust volumes based on temperature.”
