The fuel will not change temperature from day to night ... not even half a degree. Consider how much energy it would require. Additionally, there is very little time for the fuel to heat up in transit in the pump. If the fuel only expands by 1.7% in 30 degrees, then even if the gasoline did heat up by a couple of degrees before it passes thru the metering section, it would only expand by a 0.11%. Wow, that might save me a nickle on a 40 dollar fillup. If you want to increase your fuel economy, then try driving 55, tuning up your engine, using iridium plugs, lighten the load in you vehicle, or making sure your tire pressure is correct.

The gasoline is the same cool temperature all day long because it is coming from an underground tank. Selvan is wrong. There is no evaporation of the gasoline taking place as it flows through the nozzle. Kurt is right.

Something like rubbing alcohol on your skin - it will be cool while the alcohol evaporates. The nozzle is cold because the gas evaporates by absorbing away the heat.

Try touching the metal part of the nozzle while you are pumping... it will be cool to the touch.
