Moderators Andavari Posted October 6, 2005 Moderators Share Posted October 6, 2005 According to Jeremy Clarkson from what he stated on the automotive T.V. show Top Gear if a vehicle is fueled in the morning hours when the temperature isn't as hot you'll get "more fuel for your money" because at a lower temperature the fuel is more condensed. I absolutely didn't know that, and with the current worldwide fuel prices it may very well be worth a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenn Posted October 10, 2005 Share Posted October 10, 2005 Sorry but it won't work (at least in Canada, check the law in your jurisdiction). By law, fuel is required to be sold by temperature corrected volume. The pump register shows the theoretical volume at 15 degrees Celsius. In any case, the fuel is probably at ground temperature which changes very little during the day. You may get slightly more fuel in your tank (that's why pit crews fuel race cars with cryogenically cooled fuel) but you will pay for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Andavari Posted October 10, 2005 Author Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2005 Good points. We may also have to take into consideration the fuel that's already in our automobile fuel tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
