 I was reading my local newspaper yesterday, and it had a story that seemed hokey to me, but then again im not by any means educated in science and chemistry, so i will let you guys toss it around, and maybe someone can help my feeble brain wrap around this theory.
 
 
 Basicly the story was that were getting screwed at the pump cause gas is measured as i think it was 361 cubic inches at 60 degrees is one gallon of gas, and that is what the pump is calibrated to, but in higher temps the gas expands so it takes more gas to equal the same energy, plus the pump is somehow shorting you gas , they said if you fill up at night when its cooler, you get more gas than if you fill up when its 100 degrees out, does this make any sence to you?
