On gasoline. Just be thankful you are only filling up your vehicle and not buying it 8,000 gallons at a time--that is when you really feel the pinch. I can still remember when a load of gas was less than $7000 and now they cost me $25,000.
Temperature flucuations in gasoline is not that big of a deal, we balance our tanks within +5/-5 gallons per day. If they ever "force" station owners to put the temperature controls on our dispensers (at least $5000 per dispenser), it will be the consumers that get very little benefit and pay more in the long run.
One thing to look at while pumping your fuel is the jumps--let the station know if the pump jumps when you first start to fill--you may have noticed that 7c-15c will sometimes pop up--the pump needs to be calibrated. There is no way for us to test for that and we only know when someone brings it to our attention. As a station owner, I will let you know we do our best to keep our equipment running properly.
Also when pumping gas, when the pump stops don't keep putting more gas in your car to get it to an even number--it has stopped for a reason. It damages our vapor recovery nozzles and they are about $200 each. Also in the cold weather if you set your nozzle on auto fill and get back into your car until it finishes--touch your car on your side before you remove your nozzle to discharge any static. That is what causes those static flash fires at stations. They really don't happen all that often, but will scare you to death when they do. These can also happen when filling gas cans--never leave them in your truck bed when you are filling them--place them on the ground and then put them back in your truck bed.
