Is It Better to Refill Petrol in Morning or Evening? What Temperature Does to Fuel Density
• The idea of refueling in the morning or evening for denser fuel has minimal practical impact due to underground storage and temperature compensation systems.
• Density variations in fuel due to temperature changes are small and unlikely to result in noticeable fuel efficiency differences for average consumers.
• Factors like driving habits, vehicle maintenance, and tire pressure have a more significant impact on fuel efficiency than the time of day you refuel.
Refueling time: Morning or evening, does it matter
For years, a common piece of advice has circulated: fill up your petrol tank in the early morning or late evening to get more fuel for your money. The rationale behind this suggestion lies in the principle of thermal expansion and contraction. Here's a detailed look at whether there's any truth to this claim.
